Download the business owner email list

Sign up with your work email: the 10M+ U.S. dataset is on your dashboard, one zip of two Parquet files. Unzip it into a folder named us_10m, then run this in Python (pip install duckdb). It writes the 84,084 business owners with an email or a mobile to a CSV, each with their company, its website, industry and size, and their LinkedIn URL:

import duckdb

duckdb.sql(r"""
  copy (
    select p.FULL_NAME, p.CURRENT_JOB_TITLE, c.NAME as COMPANY, c.URL as WEBSITE, c.LINKEDIN_INDUSTRY as INDUSTRY,
           c.EMPLOYEE_COUNT_RANGE as EMPLOYEES, p.EMAIL, p.MOBILE_PHONE, p.CITY, p.STATE_CODE, p.LINKEDIN_URL
    from 'us_10m/us_smb_mid_market_persons.parquet' p
    join 'us_10m/us_smb_mid_market_companies.parquet' c on c.LINKEDIN_ID = p.CURRENT_JOB_COMPANY_LINKEDIN_ID
    where regexp_matches(p.CURRENT_JOB_TITLE, '\b(owner|co-owner)\b', 'i')
      and not regexp_matches(p.CURRENT_JOB_TITLE, '\b(product|process|system|data|service|application|platform) owner\b|\bowner.?s rep|\bassistant\b.*\b(to|for)\b|\bexecutive assistant\b', 'i')
      and (p.EMAIL is not null or p.MOBILE_PHONE is not null)
  ) to 'us_business_owners.csv'
""")

The pattern takes a title as written on LinkedIn, in any letter case, and the second one leaves out the titles it shouldn't take. To cut it by state, add and p.STATE_CODE = 'CA'; by size, and c.EMPLOYEE_COUNT_RANGE = '11-50'. Every column of the file and its fill rate: the free US B2B leads dataset.
