# Outbound Prospecting

> Build targeted prospect lists with verified contact info

Build a list of target companies, find the right people, and get their verified contact info, all from a single prompt.

## How it works

Describe who you're looking for and Canvas handles the rest:

> Find SaaS companies with 50-500 employees, get their VPs of Engineering, and pull emails and phone numbers.

Canvas runs through three steps automatically:

1. **Finds companies** matching your criteria (industry, size, location, funding, tech stack)
2. **Finds people** at those companies by title, seniority, or department
3. **Enriches contacts** with verified emails and phone numbers

Results appear as a table you can search, sort, filter, and export as CSV.

## Example prompts

> Find Series A fintech startups in the US, get the Head of Sales at each, and pull their emails.

> Build a list of companies using Snowflake with 100+ employees. Find the data engineering leads and get contact info.

> Find venture-backed AI companies founded after 2020, get C-suite contacts, and push them to Instantly to start a drip campaign.
