Automated Founder Outreach via Crunchbase & AI

This n8n workflow automates the process of identifying startup founders from Crunchbase, extracting key profile information, generating concise email summaries using AI, and sending personalized outreach emails. The workflow begins with a manual trigger to fetch the latest companies via the Crunchbase API, then retrieves detailed profiles of founders based on their UUIDs. It extracts relevant data such as names, titles, biographies, education, and social links. An OpenAI model processes this data to craft professional email summaries, which are then sent via Gmail. This automation is particularly useful for entrepreneurs, sales teams, VCs, and researchers wanting to scale their outreach with minimal manual effort.
