When you target SMB to mid-market companies, you need the CEO's approval. Find their verified contact details, build lists, and send outreach emails to create meaningful relationships with them using Hunter.
Pitch the person who signs instead of the gatekeeper who forwards, and close before the deal stalls in committee.
Business development moves faster when you start with the one person who can actually say yes, not a shared inbox.
Reach founders and CEOs directly for executive search, board seats, and advisory, with no InMail limits.
Booking a founder or CEO usually means going through a PR desk first. Skip it and reach them directly.
Hunter is a great tool for saving time and building pipelines and prospecting. Before we had Hunter in place I was spending a long time guessing emails and using up valuable time every day. The email verifier is also a game changer for our team.Sean Gallagher Commercial Account Executive at Lattice
From a blank filter to replies in your inbox.
Use Hunter's database of companies to match your ICP by industry, size, location, and tech, then find their CEOs.
Every contact comes with a verified email address, a confidence score, and the public sources it was found in.
Save your CEOs to a Leads list, then use Sequences to send personalized outreach without exporting anything.
Search from millions of companies and CEOs in Hunter, then reveal verified emails. Sign up and build your CEO lists for free.
Build your CEO email listStart in Hunter's Discover by filtering companies to your ICP: industry, company size, location, and the technologies they use. Once you have the accounts that fit, search the contacts inside them and filter by the Chief Executive Officer role. You get the CEOs at companies worth targeting, each with a verified email, ready to save to a Leads list.
A few routes cost nothing: check the Contact Info section of the CEO's LinkedIn profile, run a Google search like "name" + "@company.com", or look at the company's leadership and contact pages. They work for the occasional lookup but get slow and unreliable past a handful. Discover has a free plan, so you can build the list of companies you care about and reveal verified emails without the manual digging.
The quickest routes are the company's About or Leadership page, the People tab on its LinkedIn company page, or a database like Crunchbase. In Discover you can skip that step: pull up the company, then filter its contacts by the Chief Executive Officer role. The person and their verified email come back together.
Most companies use one pattern across the whole team, usually first.last@company.com, first@company.com, or f.last@company.com. Once you spot the pattern from any employee, the CEO's email address probably follows it. A guess still needs verifying before you send, which is why Discover reveals the confirmed address instead of a best guess.
Each CEO email address comes with a confidence score that estimates how likely it is to be valid and deliverable. For certainty before you send, run any address through the Email Verifier, which checks it against the mail server in real time. The higher the confidence score, or once it’s verified, the more likely your outreach lands directly in the inbox and your sender reputation stays intact.
Each email address is verified against the mail server at the moment you reveal it, and the confidence score tells you how safe it is to send. The data is refreshed continuously, which matters most for CEOs: leadership churns often, and a list that isn't re-verified goes stale within weeks.
Rules vary by country. In the US, CAN-SPAM allows B2B email outreach as long as you identify yourself, use an honest subject line, include a working opt-out, and add a valid postal address. In the EU and UK, GDPR and PECR allow it where you have a legitimate interest and the message is relevant to the person's role. Either way, stay relevant and honour opt-outs. This isn't legal advice, so confirm the rules for the regions you target.
Write about the CEO, not about you. Open with something specific, like a recent funding raise or product launch, because personalization from public information makes 67% of decision-makers more likely to reply. Lead with the outcome for their business rather than your feature list, since sounding too sales-focused is the top reason outreach emails fail. Then make it easy to say yes: a low-pressure ask like "Open to learning more?" beats pushing for a meeting upfront. The full breakdown is in Hunter's State of Email Outreach report, built on 31 million emails.
Shortest isn't best. Five or six words is the sweet spot in Hunter's data, and two personalized details in the subject line, like their name and company, push open rates to around 40%, up from 35% with just one.
Most replies don't come from the first email. Sending three messages instead of one lifts total replies by 106% (6.8% against 3.3%), but a fourth and fifth start to hurt your numbers. Two well-timed follow-ups is the ceiling.
You can, but a pre-built list starts decaying the day it's sold. People move companies, titles change, and unverified email addresses bounce and dent your sender reputation. Building your own in Discover gets you the same result without the risk: you set the filters, and every email is verified the moment you reveal it, not months ago.
The sample on this page refreshes daily. Inside Discover, company and contact data is updated continuously and emails are re-verified, so you work from current information rather than a stale export.
The confidence score estimates how likely an email address is to be valid and deliverable. A 95%+ score means Hunter is highly confident the address is correct. Lower scores are flagged so you can decide whether to send or verify further.
Yes. Export any list to CSV, or connect Hunter to your CRM to sync contacts directly. From there you can load them into Hunter Sequences or your own outreach tool.
