How to find financials of private companies at scale
Define Your Private Company Target Set
Type the private companies prompt into Sculptor, filling in the target industry or location, and specifying company name, estimated revenue range, and funding stage as return fields.
Sculptor Builds Your Company Table
Sculptor queries Clay's company dataset, cross-referencing providers like Crunchbase and CB Insights to populate each row with company name, estimated revenue range, and current funding stage automatically.
Export a Sized, Stageable Company List
You get a scoped table of private companies with revenue bands and funding stages ready to slice by segment, push to your CRM, or export as a CSV for TAM sizing and prioritization.
Why Clay for finding private companies
150+ Sources in One Search
Clay's Find Companies source queries 150+ data providers in a single workflow, filtered by industry, location, and company type. No stitching together Crunchbase exports and spreadsheets manually.
Revenue and Funding Stage Waterfall
Waterfall enrichment pulls revenue ranges and current funding stage from CB Insights, Crunchbase, and Harmonic.ai in sequence, filling gaps no single provider covers. Coverage routinely triples versus using one source alone.
Claygent Fills Private Company Gaps
When structured data is missing, Claygent researches the web to estimate revenue bands and ownership status for unlisted private companies. Every row returns with the most complete data available, not blank fields.
Export Sized Lists to Your CRM
Push company name, revenue range, and funding stage directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive, or export as CSV for TAM sizing. Bulk Exclusions automatically remove existing accounts so you only get net-new targets.
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 private companies by industry?
Sculptor takes your target industry or location, queries Clay's 150+ provider network, and builds a table of private companies with each row populated by company name, estimated revenue range, and current funding stage. Waterfall enrichment pulls from Crunchbase, CB Insights, and Harmonic.ai in sequence so gaps one provider misses get filled by the next. When structured data is unavailable, Claygent researches the web to estimate revenue bands and ownership status for unlisted companies.
How accurate is the revenue and funding data for private companies?
Coverage routinely triples compared to using a single source, according to Clay's own waterfall enrichment benchmarks (confirmed by Anthropic's 3x enrichment rate case study). CB Insights returns estimated revenue ranges with calculation dates, and Crunchbase supplies verified funding rounds and financial data. Where both miss, Claygent fills the row with a web-researched estimate so you get the most complete picture available rather than blank fields.
Can I find private companies in bulk for TAM sizing?
Yes. Paste a list of company names or domains, upload a CSV, or let Sculptor generate an entire table from a single prompt describing your target industry and location. Clay enriches every row automatically through its waterfall, then you can push the sized list to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive, or export as CSV. Bulk Exclusions remove accounts already in your CRM so you only get net-new targets.
Is it legal to collect and use private company data for prospecting?
Company-level data like revenue ranges, funding rounds, and industry classification is generally considered publicly available business information under both US and EU frameworks. Under GDPR, processing B2B company data typically falls under legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)), though once you attach personal contact data to those company records, stricter rules apply. In the US, CCPA's B2B exemption expired in January 2023, so California residents' work contact details are now fully protected personal information.
Use providers with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certifications, maintain suppression lists, and include opt-out mechanisms in any outreach. Always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching campaigns.
