Describe your target company attributes
Add your ICP filters, such as industry, headcount, funding stage, revenue, and location, and Sculptor sources matching companies from Clay's B2B company data.
Sculptor builds and enriches your matched list
Sculptor assembles a company list filtered by your chosen attributes, then waterfalls through 150+ providers to find a verified email for the contact title you specified. Only matched rows return an email.
Review your table and push to outreach
The finished table has company name plus a verified contact email for rows the waterfall enriched. Push to Smartlead, Instantly, or your sequencer to trigger a campaign the moment a row lands.
Why Clay for finding a company by attribute
One dataset, concrete ICP filters
Pinpoint your ICP with filters including industry, headcount, funding stage, tech stack, hiring signals, and location. Clay's B2B company database returns a focused, ready-to-enrich list in minutes.
Waterfall enrichment for verified contact emails
Get a verified contact email for matched rows. Clay waterfalls through 150+ providers in sequence, charging credits only when a provider returns a hit.
Claygent AI scoring on every matched account
Layer ICP fit scoring on top of raw filters. Claygent browses each company's site and classifies accounts by GTM motion, product type, or any custom attribute you define.
Push qualified rows to your sequencer
Finished rows sync directly to Smartlead, Instantly, or Salesloft the moment they are enriched. Auto-refresh keeps the list current as new companies match your filters over time.
Our most successful campaigns are built on data that doesn’t exist in off-the-shelf tools. Clay helps us find those signals — and transform ambitious ideas into executable, high-performing campaigns.
Frequently asked questions
How does Sculptor find companies by attribute?
Sculptor takes your industry, headcount, and revenue filters and queries Clay's Find Companies source, which pulls from 150+ data providers. It matches companies against your criteria, then runs waterfall enrichment to attach a verified email to each result. You get a ready-to-use table of company name and verified email without stitching together separate tools.
How accurate are company attribute search results?
Clay's waterfall enrichment lifts verified email coverage from roughly 20% with a single provider to around 80% by querying multiple sources in sequence and stopping at the first verified hit. Company firmographic data like industry, headcount, and revenue brackets comes from Clay's aggregated dataset, cross-referenced across providers to reduce stale or missing records.
Can I find companies by attribute in bulk?
Yes. Set your industry, size, and revenue filters once in Sculptor and generate an entire list in a single run. You can also paste company names or upload a CSV to enrich existing lists with missing attributes. When the table is ready, push rows directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive, or export as a CSV for outreach.
Is it legal to use company data for B2B prospecting?
GDPR permits B2B outreach under the legitimate interest basis (Article 6(1)(f)) when the message is relevant to the recipient's role and includes a clear opt-out. CAN-SPAM requires an unsubscribe mechanism in every commercial email. In the U.S., California's CCPA no longer exempts B2B contact data, so opt-out-of-sale requests must be honored.
Regulations vary by jurisdiction, and 20+ U.S. states now have privacy laws in effect. Always check the rules for your specific region before launching outreach.
