Instantly is an all-in-one sales engagement platform combining cold email outreach, a 450M+ B2B lead database, AI agents, deliverability tools, and CRM for sales teams and agencies.
About
Instantly is a sales engagement and lead intelligence platform that helps outbound teams find prospects, run automated cold email campaigns, and manage replies through to closed deals. It addresses a common pain point for sales and marketing teams: running high-volume email outreach while keeping messages landing in primary inboxes rather than spam folders.
The product, launched in 2021 by co-founders including Raul Kaevand, Nils Schneider, Reio Suun, and Sumit Kumar, combines several modules in one workflow. Users search a database of more than 450 million B2B contacts, enrich those leads with waterfall data from multiple providers, launch multi-step email sequences across connected mailboxes, and manage responses in a centralized inbox. AI agents can draft copy, personalize messages, and handle replies automatically. A built-in CRM tracks opportunities, pipeline, and revenue so teams can see which campaigns actually produce business results rather than surface-level metrics.
