There are many many companies that sell email addresses and phone numbers and even cell numbers of executives - it's a huge business. Google "B2B contact database" for a list but DiscoverOrg, ZoomInfo and UpLead come to mind.

On a scale of unicorn to Nazi, helping businesses connect with each other is pretty far from Nazi.

Im pretty sure almost every one on Cyberlead's list sends annoying "drip campaign" emails.

“At least I’m not as bad as the Nazis” could justify some pretty unacceptable things.

How do these places get this information in the first place? It seems like it wouldn't be economical to get insiders to do it, and guessing [email protected] seems too unreliable
