Which financial services and fintech workflows use personal emails?

Turn new company incorporations into contactable founders and reach stealth-mode founders before they announce. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.

How can an accountancy firm reach newly incorporated companies?

Pull new incorporations and director names from the public register. Fetch personal_email and mobile (new companies rarely have a work domain).

What inputs does it take and what does it return?

You send director names, fund thesis keywords and new incorporation records. You get back founder profile, new founders, personal email and personal_email, as JSON.

Am I charged when no personal email is found?

No. A personal email lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for personal emails we find. Search, enrichment and reverse lookups are the exception: they are charged per request.

Can financial services and fintech companies test personal emails for free?

Yes. Create a free account at app.forager.ai: it comes with $5 in free credits and an API key, and there is no credit card to sign up. Run it on records you already know, or book a demo and send us a list: we run it and show you what we find.

How do I find stealth startup founders?

Search new founder roles with POST /person_role_search/ (role_title: founder OR co-founder, person_headline: stealth, role_position_start_date in the last 90 days). Fetch a personal email via POST /person_contacts_lookup/personal_emails/, since a stealth company has no domain yet.

How do I know the data is right?

The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.

When should I use a personal email instead of a work email?

Use a personal email when the person may not read, or may not stay at, their work inbox: passive candidates, founders, alumni and people between jobs. Use a work email for business outreach to someone at their current employer. Forager prices both the same: email lookups are charged only when an address is found.

Where can I use Forager personal emails?

Native in Clay and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and called through the API from Make, n8n and your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.

Do I need a subscription?

Not to test: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using personal emails, choose a monthly or yearly plan. Monthly plans cancel anytime and unused credits roll over; yearly plans grant all credits upfront and cost 10% less. Larger volumes are agreed with our team.
