Selling to CTOs
At a startup the CTO is usually a co-founder who still writes code, chooses the stack and approves every developer tool. As a company grows the title moves toward architecture, security and vendor decisions, while VPs of Engineering run the teams day to day.
That changes the pitch. A startup CTO wants a technical answer, documentation and a free trial they can try that afternoon. A CTO at a larger company wants a security review, references and a short path to the engineers who would use the product. Developer tools, cloud and hosting, security, data infrastructure and outsourced engineering firms all go to CTOs first, and many CTOs hire contractors and agencies directly.
The filters behind the numbers
The same filters you'd set in a Search lane. Change any of them in your own lane and the free estimate recounts.
- Job title contains "chief technology officer" or "chief technical officer", or has CTO as a word of its own ("CTO", "Co-founder & CTO", "CTO, VP Engineering")
- Leaves out assistants and staff in the office of the CTO
- People in the US, at US-headquartered companies

Set the filters
Use Advanced: AND / OR groups for the job title, since "cto" on its own is inside director and contractor: title contains chief technology officer, chief technical officer, ", cto" or "& cto", or starts or ends with cto. Leave US-headquartered companies only on, and under Each person must have, switch on A mobile number or A business email.

Count, then export
The free estimate counts who matches right now, leaving out anyone you already have, and emails you when it's ready, usually within the hour. Pick how many to export and see the price first.

CTO list questions
Counts as of November 13, 2026. Your own count is free and leaves out anyone you already have; after that it's 100% usage-based: pay per lead, no subscription.
How many CTOs are there in the US?
327,794 people in the US at US-headquartered companies match this list's filters, counted on November 13, 2026. 74,838 (23%) have a mobile and 303,571 (93%) a work email. Your own count can differ: it leaves out anyone you've already bought and anyone on your exclusion list.
Why not just search titles containing "CTO"?
Because the letters c-t-o sit inside director, contractor, inspector and doctor, so a plain "contains" match fills the list with the wrong people. This count only takes CTO as a word of its own: at the start or end of the title, or after a comma, ampersand, slash or "and".
Are VPs of Engineering included?
No, only CTOs and chief technology or technical officers. To add engineering leaders, put "vp engineering", "vice president of engineering" and "head of engineering" in Job titles in your lane.
How much does a CTO lead list cost?
100% usage-based: pay per lead, no subscription. Search is 5¢ a person for the first 50,000 in a month, 4¢ up to 250,000, then 2.5¢, paid from a prepaid balance. So 1,000 CTOs cost $50. The estimate is free, you only pay for the people you export, and anyone you've bought before is never charged again.
How current are the contacts?
Every record is refreshed at least every 90 days and pulled live when you export, so job changes since our count show up in your file. The numbers on this page are recounted every month.
