We help marketers, salespeople, recruiters, and anyone else who wants to connect with more people using emails. **2015** Hunter launched **+6M** user accounts **81M** websites indexed * * * ## 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. ## Our team. We are a small group helping millions of professionals create new connections. We spend our time making our product more powerful and accessible, focusing on our users’ needs. We’ve been remote from the start and have team members in Europe, America, and Asia. - 🇺🇸 ### Matthew Tharp Chief Executive Officer [matt@hunter.io](mailto:matt@hunter.io) [Matthew LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matttharp/) [Matthew Twitter](https://twitter.com/MattTharp) - 🇫🇷 ### Antoine Finkelstein Co-founder [antoine@hunter.io](mailto:antoine@hunter.io) [Antoine LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoinefinkelstein) [Antoine Twitter](https://twitter.com/antoinefink) - 🇯🇵 ### François Grante Co-founder [francois@hunter.io](mailto:francois@hunter.io) [François LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fgrante) [François Twitter](https://twitter.com/fgrante) - 🇬🇧 ### James Milsom Head of marketing [james@hunter.io](mailto:james@hunter.io) [James LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-milsom) - 🇨🇭 ### Giovanni Lepori Head of customer success [giovanni@hunter.io](mailto:giovanni@hunter.io) [Giovanni Twitter](https://twitter.com/gglepori) - 🇷🇴 ### István Jakab Product designer [istvan@hunter.io](mailto:istvan@hunter.io) [István LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/istvanjkb/) [István Twitter](https://x.com/istvanjkb) - 🇮🇹 ### Laura Di Natali Customer success [laura@hunter.io](mailto:laura@hunter.io) [Laura LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauradinatali/) - 🇵🇹 ### Liliana Sequeira Software engineer [liliana@hunter.io](mailto:liliana@hunter.io) [Liliana LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilianasrsequeira/) - 🇺🇸 ### May Golden Customer success [may@hunter.io](mailto:may@hunter.io) [May LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/may-golden-09345815b/) - 🇫🇷 ### Christophe Hermann Product designer [christophe@hunter.io](mailto:christophe@hunter.io) [Christophe LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/christophehermann) - 🇵🇹 ### António Sampson Customer success [ams@hunter.io](mailto:ams@hunter.io) [António LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniomsampson/) - 🇲🇰 ### Darko Djalevski Software engineer [darko@hunter.io](mailto:darko@hunter.io) [Darko LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/darkodjalevski/) - 🇱🇹 ### Arnas Kazlauskas Software engineer [arnas@hunter.io](mailto:arnas@hunter.io) [Arnas LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnas-k-502b72138/) - 🇨🇦 ### Juliette Robin Customer success [juliette@hunter.io](mailto:juliette@hunter.io) [Juliette LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliette-robin-45556215b) - 🇵🇹 ### Rui Costa Product manager [rui@hunter.io](mailto:rui@hunter.io) [Rui LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruifcosta/) - 🇵🇹 ### Ana Catarina Santos Account manager [ana@hunter.io](mailto:ana@hunter.io) [Ana Catarina LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/acatarinalsantos) - 🇳🇱 ### Mark Cornelissen Software engineer [mark@hunter.io](mailto:mark@hunter.io) [Mark LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-cornelissen/) - 🇵🇱 ### Bartosz Łęcki Software engineer [bart@hunter.io](mailto:bart@hunter.io) [Bartosz LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bartosz-%C5%82%C4%99cki) - 🇭🇷 ### Antonio Gabrić Outreach manager [antonio@hunter.io](mailto:antonio@hunter.io) [Antonio LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/antonio-gabric/) - 🇫🇷 ### Jean-Romain Krupa Growth engineer [jeanro@hunter.io](mailto:jeanro@hunter.io) [Jean-Romain LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jromaink/) - 🇪🇸 ### Eugenia Lomova Customer success [eugenia@hunter.io](mailto:eugenia@hunter.io) - 🇬🇪 ### Alexey Ivanov Software engineer [alexey@hunter.io](mailto:alexey@hunter.io) [Alexey LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexey-ivanov-687051233/) - 🇳🇱 ### Tanya Chib Privacy consultant [tanya@hunter.io](mailto:tanya@hunter.io) [Tanya LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanya-chib-88036aa9/) - 🇵🇱 ### Ziemek Bućko Content manager [ziemek@hunter.io](mailto:ziemek@hunter.io) [Ziemek LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ziemek-bu%C4%87ko-369087152/) ## Our values. ### Move fast and help others move fast.
