Why deal teams switch

Sourcing breaks at the data layer.

Manual research, stale owner contacts, and locked-in subscriptions quietly cap how many targets you can ever reach. Here's what changes when the data is live.

The old stack
With Argorant
Mapping the target universe
An analyst spends days researching one segment, one company at a time.
Mapping the target universe
Describe the thesis in plain English. The whole target universe lists itself in seconds.
Finding the owner
Hunt for the principal across stale databases that list a founder who exited two years ago.
Finding the owner
Owners, CEOs, CFOs, and corp dev — surfaced and verified across every target at once.
Reaching principals
Outreach to owners bounces, so a hot proprietary deal never gets a reply.
Reaching principals
Every address is SMTP-checked the moment you export. Invalid never ships to a principal.
What you pay for
Five- and six-figure data subscriptions billed per seat, deal or no deal.
What you pay for
Only the deliverable contacts you reveal. Counts and previews are free.
Tooling
Juggle a list tool, a verifier, a CRM, and a spreadsheet to stitch one pipeline.
Tooling
No new tool. If your team can prompt an AI, it can build the target list.
The unfair advantage

Stop researching one target at a time. Describe the thesis.

Every other data tool makes you translate an investment thesis into checkboxes, then chase owners one company at a time. Argorant doesn't. Tell Claude or ChatGPT what you're hunting, in your own words, and it builds the target universe, finds the principals, verifies them, and hands back the list — inside the chat you're already in.

  • “Owners of $5–20M revenue logistics companies in the US Midwest” — done.
  • Every principal verified before the list is returned
  • Same engine in the app, CLI, REST API, and MCP

Verified before it sends

Every owner list runs through live verification.

The moment you export, each address is checked against its mail server. Valid lands on a principal's desk, risky is flagged, invalid never reaches your outreach — so a proprietary deal approach never dies in a bounce.

The whole US target universe

From one metro to the entire country.

Hundreds of millions of US contacts, filterable down to the city — so a thesis scoped to a region, a state, or a single market resolves to a verified list of owners and operators. Expanding the mandate across borders? 184 countries are in reach the same way.

How deal teams run it

From a deal thesis to a verified owner list in four steps.

No analyst grinding through targets one at a time, no export queue to babysit. Describe the thesis and go — the principal-finding and verification happen on the way out.

01

Describe the thesis

Tell Claude, ChatGPT, the CLI, or the app what you're hunting — “owners of $5–20M revenue logistics companies in the US Midwest.” Plain language, no filter syntax.
$ npx argorant search
  “owners, logistics, $5-20m revenue, us midwest”
02

Preview the target universe — free

See the live count of matching companies and a masked preview of the decision-makers before you spend a credit. Tighten size, revenue, or geo until the list is exactly your thesis.
03

Reveal owners, verified live

Reveal and export. Each principal's address is SMTP-verified on the way out; only deliverable contacts are billed and delivered to you.
04

Push to your CRM or outreach

Download a CSV, pull over the REST API, or hand it to an AI agent via MCP — straight into your deal tracker or outreach, where conversations with owners start.
No more dead approaches

Protect the domain your firm reaches out from.

One associate blasting a stale owner list can flag the domain your whole firm sends from — and torch the credibility a proprietary approach depends on. Argorant strips invalid and risky addresses before they ever reach your tool, so every approach to a principal counts and your sender reputation stays intact.

  • Real-time SMTP checks at export
  • Catch-all and risky addresses flagged, never billed
  • Identical verification across app, API, CLI, and MCP

It lands where you run the deal

Verified principals, straight into your stack.

CSV, REST API, webhooks, or MCP — push target and owner lists straight into the CRM, deal tracker, or outreach tool your firm already runs. No copy-paste, no broken imports.

Yes — that's the core of deal sourcing here. Filter a target universe by industry and sub-industry, employee count, revenue band, and location, from a single metro to a whole country or region. Describe the thesis — “owners of $5–20M revenue logistics companies in the US Midwest” — and preview the matching universe for free before spending a credit.
Yes. Argorant surfaces the decision-makers who matter on a deal — owners and founders, CEOs, CFOs, and corporate development leads — across every company in your target list, with their business email and role, so your approach reaches the person who can say yes.
Every email is checked against the receiving mail server at the moment you export. Invalid and risky addresses are filtered out before delivery, so an outreach to an owner or a sell-side prospect lands instead of bouncing — and the domain your deal team sends from keeps its reputation.
Yes — export to CSV, pull over the REST API, fire webhooks, or connect an AI agent via MCP. Target and contact lists drop straight into HubSpot, Pipedrive, or whatever pipeline tracker you run, and into any sequencer you reach through Zapier or Make.
No contract and no seat minimums — a sharp break from the five-figure data subscriptions deal teams are used to. It's self-serve: counts and previews cost nothing, and you only spend on the deliverable contacts you reveal. Build one target list and scale across your thesis when it works.
The index is continuously refreshed and re-verified, and verification happens live at export — so you're never approaching an owner at an email that was scraped and left to rot, or a principal who sold the business months ago.

Reach the owners your competitors can't find.
