François Grante

I'm a software developer and entrepreneur.

My focus is on creating simple but impactful applications. I co-founded Hunter, which helps millions of businesses grow with email outreach.

I'm currently building Recall to help people learn faster.

Co-founder of Hunter

In 2015, I co-founded Hunter with Antoine Finkelstein in France. It started as a tool to find business email addresses. It gradually became a full-featured email outreach platform that helps millions of users around the world.

Hunter is now an 8-figure business that employs close to 30 people remotely across Europe and North America.

At Hunter, my role was centered on product, front-end development, design, SEO, and growth. In 2023, I transitioned out of my full-time role. The same year, we hired Matthew Tharp as Hunter's new CEO.

Life in Asia and lifelong learning

I have spent over a decade living in Thailand and Japan. I'm passionate about Asian cultures and languages.

I created Kanjikana, a website dedicated to Japanese kanji, used by over 2 million people per year.

In 2024, I started building Recall, a powerful spaced-repetition application.
