Growth List releases database of 9,953+ funded AI startups with verified emails

Growth List has launched a comprehensive B2B lead database featuring 9,953+ funded AI startups, updated weekly with the latest funding rounds. The database contains 7,380 double-verified email addresses for founders, CEOs, and key decision-makers, along with funding details, investor information, and X/LinkedIn social profiles. Each entry is manually verified against Crunchbase, company announcements, and SEC filings, ensuring accuracy beyond typical automated scrapers. Data points include company stage, employee count, technology stack, and growth metrics, with segmentation by geography and industry. The list focuses on startups that raised capital recently, with AI startups raising $42.97 billion in 2024 and on pace to surpass that in 2025, making them high-value sales targets.

To qualify as an AI startup, Growth List requires that companies either build foundational AI technology (LLMs, computer vision, ML infrastructure, AI chips), create AI-native products where AI is core functionality, or deploy AI to transform industries like healthcare, finance, manufacturing, or legal. The database excludes companies that simply integrate existing AI APIs without proprietary technology. This curation aims to capture genuine innovation rather than marketing buzz. Subscribers can also access information on which venture capital firms back specific startups, enabling pattern tracking across the AI ecosystem. The list is part of Growth List's Startup Lists Collection, which includes US startup hubs, industry-specific lists, and funding stage segmentation, all designed to help sales teams reach decision-makers at companies with fresh capital to spend.
