Sculptor builds and enriches your company list
Sculptor assembles a filtered list of web development and design companies from Clay's company database, using industry, location, and headcount filters. It then waterfalls through 150+ providers to find a verified email for your target title on matched rows.

Frequently asked questions
How does Sculptor find web development and design companies?
Sculptor takes your city or industry input and searches Clay's company database using description keywords like "web design agency," filtering by location, headcount, or technographics. It also pulls results from Google Maps to surface local shops that standard B2B databases miss. Once the company list is built, Clay's email waterfall queries providers like Prospeo, Hunter, and Apollo in sequence to locate a verified founder email for each company.
How accurate are the founder emails Clay finds?
Clay's waterfall enrichment typically pushes email coverage from around 30% with a single provider to roughly 80% by querying six or more providers in sequence. Each address runs through ZeroBounce validation before it lands in your table, which keeps bounce rates low. Clay's 2025 work email benchmark showed that a multi-provider waterfall reached about 94% usable coverage, far above any single source tested alone.
Can I find web dev companies in bulk for a whole list?
Yes. Type multiple cities or industries into Sculptor one search at a time, or upload a CSV of target locations and let Clay enrich every row automatically. The email waterfall and ZeroBounce validation run across the entire table in one pass. When the list is ready, push it directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive, where Clay checks for duplicates and only creates net-new records.
Is it legal to collect and email web dev company founders?
In the US, CAN-SPAM allows B2B cold email with no prior consent as long as you include a valid physical address, an honest subject line, and a working opt-out link you honor within 10 business days. Penalties reach $53,088 per non-compliant email. In the EU, GDPR requires a documented legitimate interest assessment before contacting business professionals, and you must disclose the data source at first contact under Article 14.
Always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching outreach, especially when contacting sole traders or recipients outside the US and EU.
