How to find software and SaaS companies

01

Describe your software or SaaS ICP

Add your target market filters, such as industry, headcount, funding stage, and location, plus the title you want to reach. Sculptor searches Clay's B2B company data for matching software and SaaS companies.

02

Sculptor builds and enriches your company list

Sculptor assembles a filtered list from Clay's company database using industry, headcount, funding, and tech stack signals, then waterfalls through 150+ providers to surface a verified email for the title you specified. Matched rows return the contact.

03

Review your table of companies and verified emails

The finished table has company name and 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.

Frequently asked questions

How does Sculptor find software and SaaS companies?

Sculptor searches Clay's built-in company dataset for software and SaaS companies matching your target industry or region. It then identifies the VP of Sales at each company and runs a waterfall enrichment across multiple contact-data providers to return a verified work email. You can add a Claygent step afterward to scrape each company's website and confirm it genuinely sells SaaS, filtering out false positives.

How accurate are the VP of Sales emails Sculptor finds?

Clay's waterfall enrichment queries up to 10 providers in sequence, pushing email coverage from roughly 30% with a single provider to around 80%. In Clay's own benchmark of 4,700+ contacts, top providers like Findymail and Wiza scored above 96% confidence on verified work emails. You only pay when a provider finds a match, so you get broad coverage without overpaying for misses.

Can I find SaaS companies in bulk for a whole list?

Yes. Sculptor generates a full table of matching SaaS companies and VP of Sales emails in one pass. You can also paste a list, upload a CSV, or pipe rows from another Clay table to enrich at scale. Once your table is ready, push every row directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, or Outreach for immediate outbound without a manual export step.

Is it legal to collect B2B company data for outbound outreach?

CAN-SPAM permits sending commercial email to business contacts without prior opt-in, provided you include a valid physical address, honest subject lines, and a working unsubscribe link. Under GDPR, B2B outreach to work emails can rely on the legitimate interest basis (Article 6(1)(f)), but you must document a Legitimate Interest Assessment and honor opt-out requests within 30 days. In the US, California's CCPA now fully covers business contact data after the B2B exemption expired in 2023.

Always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching outreach campaigns.
