Apollo.io
Contact database and outreach in one platform
4.3FreemiumBest for Lean funds running cold founder outreach
Outreach Lead Data Sequencing
Overview
Apollo.io combines a large B2B contact database with multichannel sequencing, so a fund can find founder and operator emails and run outreach from a single subscription. For lean venture teams doing cold sourcing — reaching founders before a round is competitive — the all-in-one approach saves both tool sprawl and budget. The entry tiers are generous, and the enrichment API means it doubles as the contact layer under custom sourcing workflows.
