A real run

We listed US software startups with a seed or Series A announced in the 7 days to Oct 10, 2026 (3 pages of 3, $0.60), searched news for 4 founders on Oct 11 ($0.04) and looked up the work emails of the first 3 founders on Oct 11 ($0.24): $0.88 in all. Nozomio's founder is named in the headline of its funding article. The list is the first 9 of 59 the funding database matched; amounts are as it lists them. Startups are examples; we are not affiliated.

The first 3 of the 59 US software startups the funding database lists with a seed or Series A in the 7 days to Oct 10, 2026 were Nozomio (seed, $6.2M), Gudea (seed, $7M) and Hilt (seed, $4.2M). The founder of each came back with a work email verified at the startup's own email domain; for these three that cost 46 cents.

That is not every time. A second run the same day took the 3 newest: two listed Oct 11 and Nozomio again. It named a real founder and verified the email for 1 (39 cents); for the second it took a misspelled company name for a person, which is now dropped; and it named nobody for Nozomio. The Nozomio founder in the first 3 was read by hand from the funding article's headline.

The email data gave 2 of those 3 founders a job title that does not match the news, “Navy Reserves” and “Fellow”; the news calls both the co-founder and CEO. Use the title from the news.

The next 6 include Ultra ($62M listed as a Series A) and Rebel Audio ($10M Series A); news names the CEO of each, though two sources disagree on Ultra's. We did not look up their emails.

Check two rows before you use them: TypeSafe AI's $870M Series A comes from the company's own blog, and Rella's row points to a 2022 pre-seed, not a new round.

What you do with it: write to the founders while the round is news, with the article in your first line, and check each name against its link before you send.

How it works

Your AI assistant does these steps for you. You pay only for each run; nothing to install or configure.

Lists the startups that just raised

You pick the place, the industry, the rounds and how many days back. It reads a funding database that tracks announced rounds, 3 startups at a time, with the news article for each.

Reads who the founder is

It searches news and profiles about each startup and keeps a name where a sentence calls that person the founder or CEO of that company, dropping names that look like the company itself. It can still pick the wrong person, so you get the sentence and the link to check.

Finds the founder's work email

For each named founder it looks for a work email verified at the startup's own email domain. When none is known it says so and does not guess.

Questions

Where does the list come from?

A funding database that tracks announced rounds from news and filings. You get the article for each startup, so you can open the source.

How are founders named?

From news and profiles about each startup: a name is kept where a sentence calls that person the founder or CEO of that company, and you get the sentence and link. On Oct 11 an earlier version took a misspelled company name for a person; it now drops names that look like the company. Where no source names one, it says “not named”. Check each name before you write.

Are the emails real?

Each email comes from a finder that only returns addresses it has verified at the startup's own email domain. When it has none it says “not found”; nothing is guessed. Job titles in that data may not match the news, so use the title from the news.

What does it cost?

About 40 to 50 cents for 3 startups: 20 cents for the list, 1 cent per founder search and 8 cents per email lookup, so less when a founder is not found. Paid from your balance; new accounts start with $5 free.

Can I email them?

It finds addresses; it does not send anything. Follow the anti-spam rules in your country, write one person at a time, and say why you are writing.
