Our story.

Hunter was created by Antoine Finkelstein and François Grante in 2015. Freshly graduated, they saw the untapped potential of cold emails and wanted to address the challenges of prospecting and finding contact information. To achieve a great success rate while complying with privacy regulations, they decided to use emails found on the public web. Email Hunter was born.

Soon rebranded as Hunter, the tool quickly became a game-changer in business intelligence. Within weeks, it attracted thousands of users thanks to its user-friendly interface, handy browser extension, affordable pricing, and data accuracy. Unlike its peers, Hunter aimed not at large enterprises but at making cold emailing accessible to all.

Over time, Hunter grew into a comprehensive email outreach platform, offering everything from finding contact information to sending cold emails. Antoine and François, with a focused team, continued to empower professionals with simple, powerful tools.


Six million people use Hunter to source verified email addresses and send cold emails.
