CTO Rank for Venture Capital Firms

VCs need to evaluate technical teams before investing and source technical co-founders for portfolio companies.

Traditional methods — LinkedIn searches, conference networking, referral chains — are slow and unreliable. You need a scalable, data-driven approach to finding engineering leadership talent and contacts.

CTO Rank was built to solve this exact problem. Our database of 485,000+ tech leaders gives VCs instant access to verified contact data for CTOs, VPs of Engineering, CIOs, CISOs, and Directors of Technology at companies worldwide.

CTO Rank is purpose-built for VCs who need direct access to engineering decision-makers.

• Search by role and seniority — Filter for CTOs, VPs, Directors, or C-suite executives across any industry.
• Filter by tech stack — Find leaders at companies using specific technologies like AWS, Kubernetes, Python, or React.
• Target by company size — Focus on startups, mid-market, or enterprise based on employee count and funding.
• Export to CSV — Download your results with full email addresses for direct outreach or CRM import.

Every contact includes the leader's name, title, company, verified email, location, and tech stack — everything VCs need to take action.

Bad data wastes time and money. CTO Rank maintains data quality through continuous verification:

• Email verification — Every email address is validated before inclusion. Over 98% of our 485,000+ contacts have verified emails.
• Weekly updates — Our data pipeline refreshes titles, companies, and contact info on a rolling basis.
• Real-time enrichment — Company data includes domain, employee count, industry classification, funding, and tech stack.

This means VCs spend less time bouncing emails and more time connecting with the right engineering leaders.

LinkedIn is great for networking, but it has limitations for VCs who need scale:

• Find Technical Co-Founders — Target Senior Tech Leaders with verified contact info.
