Founders and CEOs of US software companies (11-1,000 employees)

From Datacircle's U.S. B2B dataset (snapshot of October 2026). Free.

One row per person: anyone whose current title says founder, co-founder or CEO, at a US company LinkedIn classes as "Software Development" or "Technology; Information and Internet", with 11-1,000 employees. Not in it: "stealth" pages and pages 5 or more people call their founder or CEO employer (a media site, a travel network, a marketplace): people attach to them, they don't work there.
