How to build an ICP with Clay in 3 steps
Describe Your Ideal Customer Profile
Enter your target ICP into Sculptor: company type, stage, size, and geography. Specify return fields like headcount, industry, total funding, and HQ location.
Sculptor Assembles Your Company Table
Sculptor configures a starting table with company name, domain, headcount, industry, total funding, and HQ location pulled from 150+ data vendors. Review the preview and click Continue to proceed.
Stack Firmographics and Sync to CRM
Chain in firmographic and market-fit enrichments using TAM-focused providers (Ocean.io, HG Insights, CPJ) to validate funding stage, tech stack, and headcount. Push the finished table to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Apollo for immediate outreach.
Why Clay for Building an ICP

150+ Data Sources for ICP Discovery
Clay pulls from 150+ data vendors, including Ocean.io and HG Insights, to surface companies that match your ICP criteria. No single provider covers every market segment, so stacking sources closes the gaps your current list is missing.
Multi-Source ICP Consolidation at Scale
Blend firmographic data across vendors and deduplicate by domain and HQ address to raise account match rates from 60% to 90%+. One unified table replaces the manual work of reconciling exports from Apollo, PeopleDataLabs, and CPJ.


Precise ICP Filtering by Firmographic Fit
Filter by headcount, funding stage, industry, and tech stack to enforce ICP rules before any record enters your pipeline. Non-fit accounts are excluded automatically, keeping Salesforce and HubSpot clean from the start.
Sync ICP Lists to Ads and Sequencers
Route finalized ICP accounts directly to Outreach, Smartlead, or Lemlist for sequencing, and push matched audiences to your ad platforms in the same workflow. Daily refresh keeps your ICP list current as companies cross funding or headcount thresholds.
