ContactOut is a startup backed by leading investors 500 Startups and Startmate, Blackbird Ventures. We’re a business intelligence tool that provides recruiters and sales professionals access to over 1.23billion emails and 50million phone numbers.
Contactout will be a billion dollar startup by 2025. Here’s why:
We have a clear path to earning $400million+ revenue by 2025. We’re being advised by Zoominfo’s founding team, who have given us the exact playbook on how they grew from 20 employees to $400m revenue and a $18bn NASDAQ IPO. We have insider knowledge on how to source 200% more phone numbers and 300% more emails than Zoominfo and dominate the market. We’re a small team and growing super fast — think Dropbox / Slack first 14 employees. Currently we’re at $5m revenue and strongly profitable.
We’re giving generous equity grant likely to be worth over $1 million dollars vested.

Product direction:
Short term:
Emails for 80% of the world (done). Phone numbers for 50% of the world (2 month goal). Improve our search portal.
Medium term:
Create an outreach platform with email and SMS campaigns, a dialer, reports and a lightweight CRM.
Long term vision:
Make outreach more relevant and less spammy. As users send and respond to messages via our platform. We’re able to analyze those responses and publish intent data on what people are interested in. E.g Joe Smith has responded to 2 recruiters in the past month. CompanyA is interested in SEO services but not interested in security services. This will help outreach be more targeted towards those people that are actually interested.
