How SaaS CEOs format their email addresses

SaaS leads you can import into your CRM
The list is a CSV with named columns, so it imports straight into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Apollo, Instantly, lemlist or any sequencer. Teams that buy it:
- Agencies and dev shops that sell to SaaS companies
- SaaS tools whose customers are other SaaS teams
- Recruiters placing people at SaaS startups
- Investors and M&A advisors looking for deals
- Partnership and integration teams
Three tips for emailing SaaS founders
- Open with their product, not yours: the description column gives you one specific line to start with.
- Segment before you send. A 10-person startup and a 500-person scale-up need different pitches.
- Send in small batches from a warmed-up domain, and stop the moment someone says no.

Who Built It
Who is Behind This?
Hi. I’m Khrystyna Oleksiienko. I help companies reach out to SaaS and tech companies.
Working closely with tech and business teams, I’ve seen how much time founders, marketers and business development teams waste finding the right person to email at each company. Hours of manual research go into a single list.
That’s why I built LeadWave: a ready-to-use list of SaaS decision-makers, the CEO or founder of 13,600+ SaaS companies, with every email verified by hand. I’ve used it for my own projects too, and it’s been so useful in saving time and finding the right opportunities.
LeadWave helps you skip the grind and focus on what matters:
- growing your startup or business,
- building connections,
- and creating impact.
My mission is to eliminate tedious research and empower you to make faster, smarter decisions.
