How to find company emails
Describe your target market and title
Add your target industry and the title you want to reach, say Head of Marketing at SaaS companies. Sculptor waterfalls through 150+ providers to find a verified work email for each match.
Sculptor searches and enriches each contact row
Sculptor searches Clay's people database for contacts matching your target industry and title, then runs waterfall enrichment across 150+ providers in sequence, stopping when a verified work email is found. Only matched rows are charged a credit.
Review your table of verified contact emails
The finished table has company name and verified work email where the waterfall found a match. Push to Smartlead, Instantly, or your sequencer to trigger a campaign the moment a row lands.
Why Clay for finding company emails
150+ providers in a single waterfall
Get a verified work email for matched contacts without managing separate vendor subscriptions. Clay waterfalls through 150+ providers in sequence and only charges a credit when one returns a hit.
Built-in verification flags risky inboxes
Every matched email runs through built-in verification before it leaves Clay, flagging catch-all domains and role-based inboxes like info@ so your bounces stay low when campaigns launch.
Scheduled re-verification keeps lists fresh
Email lists decay as contacts change jobs. Clay's scheduled enrichment re-runs the waterfall on a Day, Week, or Month cadence so verified addresses stay current without manual effort.
One-click push to your sequencer
When the waterfall completes, push verified rows directly to Smartlead, Instantly, Outreach, or Salesloft with no CSV export required, triggering campaigns the moment contacts land.
When one provider doesn’t have it, Clay automatically checks the next one. It really helps our inbound and outbound motions because we can leverage the best source of data. I’ve never seen a tool that was so easy to do this process.
Frequently asked questions
How does Sculptor find company emails?
Sculptor takes your target industry or company list and runs waterfall enrichment across 12+ contact-data providers, including Hunter, Prospeo, and Findymail. It queries each provider in sequence and stops the moment it finds a verified email, then returns company name and verified email in a single row. Every result passes through ZeroBounce validation before it hits your table.
How accurate are the company emails Sculptor finds?
Coverage typically lands between 30% with a single provider and 80% or higher when Clay layers multiple providers in a waterfall. Clay tested 12 email-finding providers across thousands of contacts and found that stacking them can triple coverage compared to any one tool alone. Every returned email also runs through ZeroBounce verification, and you can toggle "Safe to Send only" to strip catch-all addresses and protect deliverability.
Can I find company emails for a whole list at once?
Yes. Paste a list of companies directly into Sculptor, upload a CSV, or pipe rows from an existing Clay table. Sculptor processes every row through the same waterfall enrichment in parallel. Once complete, sync verified emails to HubSpot or Salesforce, or export the full table as a CSV to drop into your outreach sequences.
Is it legal to collect and email B2B company contacts?
In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM Act applies to all commercial email, including B2B. It requires accurate sender information, a working unsubscribe mechanism, and a valid physical address. Each violation carries penalties up to $53,088 per email. In the EU, GDPR allows B2B outreach under the legitimate interest basis (Article 6(1)(f)), but you must document your interest and honor data-subject requests promptly.
Rules vary by jurisdiction and industry, so always check local regulations before launching outreach campaigns.
