Passive database
Apollo, RocketReach, Lusha and the rest
One index. The same one for everybody. Read once, on their schedule.
Active research, not a lookup
Reach anyone across the sky.
A database looks a person up. SkySearch sends AI investigators out to find them. Give us a name or role and a company. They search public and proprietary sources, in that market's own language.
Most results land in 15 to 56 seconds Nothing charged for what we cannot establish
Built for the people who are hardest to find
The searches SkySearch is built for.
-
M&A
Ken** T. Managing Director mid-market M&A advisory, Tokyo
We had the target company and the founder's name. The usual databases gave us nothing useful. SkySearch found a work email we could actually use, which saved us from asking around through three different intermediaries.

Investment Banking
Nat** P. Vice President investment banking, Bangkok
For listed companies, contact data is easy. For a private Thai business with one owner and an old website, it gets messy fast. We used SkySearch for the messy ones.

Corp Dev
Ryo** S. Director corporate development, Osaka
We were mapping small family-owned suppliers before an acquisition study. The hard part wasn't finding the companies. It was finding a real person behind them. That's where this was useful.

Private Equity
Tee** R. Investment Director private equity, Bangkok
Our team already knew the company we liked. What we didn't have was a direct line to the family. The first search tools we checked were blank. SkySearch got us closer to the actual decision maker.

Private Equity
Jae** K. Principal private equity, Seoul
The company was easy to identify. The owner was not. We had already checked two databases and some Korean sources manually. SkySearch helped us find a contact path without adding another analyst day.

Consulting
Lin** T. Senior Manager market entry consulting, Ho Chi Minh City
Finding company names wasn't the issue. We needed the person who actually ran distribution for a very specific category. SkySearch was helpful once the normal list-building work ended.

Executive Search
Soo** H. Partner executive search, Seoul
Senior candidates are often the hardest when they're not actively looking. One person had basically disappeared from the usual platforms. We found a professional contact and could finally approach them properly.
Illustrative customer story
-
Private Equity
Ari** W. Investment Manager private equity, Jakarta
We look at a lot of founder-led businesses. The best targets are often the least searchable. SkySearch is most useful for us when the company is real, attractive, and strangely hard to reach.

Corp Dev
Yi-** L. Senior Manager corporate development, Taipei
For a small acquisition target, there were only two people we really wanted to speak with. Neither had a useful public profile. We got a contact path without sending the team into a long manual search.

Advisory
Bay** S. Associate Director transaction advisory, Jakarta
A founder had no obvious email pattern and barely any public profile. We tried guessing addresses and got nowhere. SkySearch gave the team a cleaner answer instead of more guesses.

-
Executive Search
Pau** R. Principal executive search, Manila
The candidate had moved companies and every old contact was dead. We didn't need another profile. We needed a current way to reach the person. Big difference.

Enterprise Sales
Jia** T. Regional Account Executive enterprise software, Kuala Lumpur
Most prospecting tools are fine until you ask for one very specific person in a private company. That's usually where I lose time. This is the part SkySearch solved for me.

Private Equity
Cla** W. Vice President private markets, Hong Kong
Our research team had already done the company work. The missing piece was one senior person in a private business. SkySearch was useful because it started where the database search stopped.

Private Equity
Emi** B. Vice President lower middle-market private equity, New York
We already pay for several data products. They're good for coverage. This was different. We used it when one exact founder mattered more than another 2,000 names.

Private Equity
Har** C. Investment Director lower mid-market private equity, London
We had a niche founder-led target outside London. The business had a website from another era and almost no people data. SkySearch found enough for us to make a proper first approach.

Consulting
Sar** P. Engagement Manager strategy consulting, Chicago
We had a weird expert request in a niche industrial market. The obvious names were easy. The useful people were harder. SkySearch helped us get beyond the first page of names everyone else had.

Agency
Tom** A. Founder B2B growth agency, Manchester
My client didn't need another 10,000 leads. They had 18 dream accounts. We used SkySearch to work through the awkward ones where the buyer just wasn't showing up in our normal stack.

M&A
Chr** M. Managing Director boutique M&A advisory, Florida
A buyer gave us three founder names and said, "Can you reach these people?" Two were straightforward. One was a dead end everywhere we checked. That third one is why this product makes sense.

Consulting
Aki** M. Engagement Manager strategy consulting, Tokyo
I needed six people who had worked in a very narrow industrial niche. LinkedIn was only giving me the obvious profiles. SkySearch helped us get to people outside that usual circle.

Consulting
Pim** S. Project Leader management consulting, Bangkok
We were doing a market map and needed operators, not people who post online all day. A few of the best names had almost no normal digital footprint. SkySearch still found a route to them.
Illustrative customer story
-
M&A
Mei** K. Senior Vice President cross-border advisory, Tokyo
One owner wasn't on LinkedIn and the company website only had a contact form. We tried the normal routes first. SkySearch gave us another path in without turning the search into a week-long research job.

Enterprise Sales
May** C. Regional Sales Director enterprise software, Bangkok
I don't need 5,000 leads. I need the ten accounts that matter this quarter. For one target, we knew exactly who owned the problem but couldn't find a clean contact. This filled that gap.

Min** L. Case Team Leader strategy consulting, Seoul
We needed former operators from a niche manufacturing category. The first list looked fine on paper, but most people were impossible to reach. SkySearch made the shortlist much more practical.

M&A
Anh** N. Director M&A advisory, Ho Chi Minh City
We had a local manufacturing owner on a buyer's wish list. There was almost nothing online in English. The search still came back with something useful, which is exactly why we tested it.

Enterprise Sales
Nad** R. Strategic Accounts Director B2B software, Jakarta
The account was already on our list. I wasn't looking for more leads. I wanted one specific finance leader inside it. That's a much better use case for us.

Enterprise Sales
Duc** P. Country Sales Lead industrial technology, Hanoi
My team had been calling the main office for weeks. We knew who we wanted, but not how to get to him. A direct work contact changed the whole approach.

Enterprise Sales
Wei** C. Regional Business Development Director electronics, Taipei
We were targeting a technical buyer at a supplier most tools barely covered. The company was easy. The individual wasn't. SkySearch was built for that second part.

Consulting
Mar** D. Manager strategy and operations consulting, Manila
We were building an expert list for a tight deadline. Some of the strongest people weren't active on the usual professional networks. Those were the people we used SkySearch for.

Investment Banking
Haf** Z. Director investment banking, Kuala Lumpur
On a buy-side idea, our team had a shortlist of owners before we had a mandate to approach them. A few were nearly invisible online. SkySearch helped us test whether direct outreach was even possible.

Search Fund
Dan** L. Managing Partner entrepreneurship-through-acquisition search, Singapore
I had about 40 companies I liked, but only a handful of owners I could reach directly. I don't want a giant lead list. I want the right owner at the right company, one by one.

Search Fund
Jac** H. Managing Director search fund, California
I was trying to reach the owner of a 30-year-old services business. No LinkedIn, no obvious email, nothing. I had the company on my list for months. SkySearch finally gave me a sensible route in.

Investment Banking
Oli** F. Director investment banking, London
The difficult part of origination isn't making a list. It's getting to the right owner before everyone else does. We used SkySearch on the names where the normal contact sources went quiet.

Enterprise Sales
Mat** G. Strategic Account Director enterprise software, Texas
I knew the account, the business unit, and the person I wanted. What I didn't have was a reliable contact. That's the kind of search I care about. One person, high value.

Sop** W. Principal strategy consulting, London
I needed former executives from a very specific part of the supply chain. We could find names, but contact coverage fell apart quickly. This helped on the last few people who actually mattered.

Executive Search
Ale** R. Partner retained executive search, Boston
The best candidate in our map had almost no public contact information. That's normal at this level. We used SkySearch after our regular research process, not instead of it.

When every lead is a VIP
One introduction can be worth the year.
SkySearch is a contact research service. Give it a person or a role and a company. It researches that one person across company registries, filings, company sites, news and local-language records. Then it reports a work email address, the evidence behind it, and a confidence score. It is not a contact database. Nothing is looked up from a list we already hold.

One business, and no way in. How SkySearch is used for search funds
Every target gets a fresh investigation.
A missing database record does not have to end your search. We follow the clues across company websites, public records, local-language sources and proprietary data.
We never cite a contact database as a source. Not RocketReach, not ZoomInfo, not Apollo, not Lusha. We open the document and read the address out of it.

Every result keeps the trail behind it, so a contact can still be justified months later. Where the evidence does not reach the bar, we say so rather than reporting an address.
Our own test
We ran the same ten people through four tools.
Ten people we actually needed to reach. Here is what each one came back with.
| Tool | Work emails found, out of ten |
|---|---|
| SkySearch | 8 of 10 |
| RocketReach | 5 of 10 |
| Apollo | 4 of 10 |
| Lusha | 4 of 10 |
How we tested. September 2026. Ten hard-to-find people in Asian markets, where a global database is thin and a professional network is thinner. A result counted if the tool returned any work email address for that person, which is the bar most generous to the other three.

Ten free credits. No card.
Active, not passive
A database remembers. We go and look.
One of these reads a record that was written months ago. The other sends a team of agents out while you wait.
Active research
SkySearch
A team of agents, sent for your one person, reading live sources now.
| The question | A passive database | SkySearch |
|---|---|---|
| When you search | It reads a record it stored earlier. | It starts a new investigation for that one person. |
| How fresh it is | As fresh as their last refresh. | As fresh as the moment you asked. |
| Which sources | The same set, for everyone. | Chosen for that person, that company, that market. |
| Language | Mostly English. | The local language and script, in 20 markets. |
| Who it can reach | Whoever is already in the index. | Whoever leaves a public trace anywhere. |
| When it finds nothing | It returns nothing. | That is where it starts. |
The atlas
Across the sky, and into the local filing.
Every market hides its records somewhere different. We send an agent that knows where to look, reads the local language, and brings the answer back to one screen.

Questions
Before you trust a contact, understand how it was found.
Questions about money are answered in full on the pricing page.
What is SkySearch?
SkySearch is a contact research service. You give it a person or a role and a company. It researches that one person, then reports a work email address with the evidence behind it and a confidence score.
It is not a contact database. Nothing is looked up from a list we already hold. Each search reads company registries, exchange filings, company websites, news and local-language records.
How is SkySearch different from Apollo, RocketReach or Lusha?
Those are databases. They look a person up in records they already hold, and they return nothing when they hold nothing. SkySearch starts working at that point.
In our own test of ten hard-to-find people in Asian markets, SkySearch returned a work email for 8. RocketReach returned 5. Apollo returned 4. Lusha returned 4. We also never cite a contact database as a source, so a result never rests on another tool's guess.
What if no email is found?
If no email passes our checks, the email credit is not charged. Research and evidence may still cost 1 credit.
Often there is another way in. It might be a contact named in the company's own filings. It might be a board seat the person holds, or a different company domain. Each one comes with its own evidence and its own score.
How much does SkySearch cost?
You get 10 free credits when you sign up. No card is needed.
A complete result costs 2 credits: 1 for the research and the evidence, 1 more for an email that passes our checks. So ten free credits is up to five complete results. Credit packs start at $10. Plans start at $99 a month for 50 credits. The full table is on the pricing page.
How long does a search take?
Most results land in 15 to 56 seconds. That range was measured across about 110 production searches over fourteen days.
Finding candidates is free and comes back first. You only spend credits once you confirm which person you meant.
Does a high score guarantee delivery?
No. The score reflects the checks behind the result. Mail filters and job changes can still affect delivery.
The score says how strongly the independent sources agreed. We show you every one of them, so you can judge the risk yourself. Below 65 we report no address at all.
Which countries does SkySearch cover?
SkySearch researches people worldwide. Twenty markets get a second pass in their own language and script. They are Thailand, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, India, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Elsewhere the same rule applies in that market's own language. See where we reach.
Does SkySearch work outside Asia?
Yes. SkySearch researches targets worldwide, including sources in local languages.
It helps most where the public record is thin. Think private companies, founder-led firms, holding structures, and filings in another language. That pattern is common across Asia. It is just as common for private companies in Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.
Where does SkySearch get its data?
We read public records, company registries and filings. We read company websites, news and local-language sources. We license data too. And we run live checks on the company's own mail domain.
We give you ways to reach people at work, for work. The evidence behind every result is kept, so a contact can still be justified months later. We act on access, correction and erasure requests.
Who have you been trying to reach?
Start with a name or role and a company.
