Hi, we’re ContactOut. We have a database with everyone’s email and phone number in it. So B2B professionals use ContactOut to get conversations going with key people. They like it. We’re used by 76% of the Fortune 500.
Our leadership team consists of Harvard University and London Business School alumni, who have previously built NASDAQ listed businesses. Our investors include 500 Startups and Blackbird Ventures.
Our ultimate vision is to fix cold outreach for the world. We want to transform it from a “necessary evil” into a good experience for both the sender and receiver.
Contactout will be a billion dollar business by 2025. Our CEO previously built Zoominfo from $8m revenue to $80m revenue and Zoominfo went on to list on the NASDAQ at $30 billion. We’ve done it before, and we’re doing it again. Join a rocketship! Think Stripe / Slack first 40 employees.
We’re giving generous equity grants!
