How to identify a company
Paste your company name or list
Drop in a company name or a list of companies. Claygent browses each one and maps it to a full firmographic profile.
Claygent builds each company profile
Claygent researches each company across Clay's B2B company data and the web, extracting headcount, funding stage, and industry. Where multiple sources exist, Clay waterfalls through providers to fill gaps and maximize coverage.
Get a firmographic table, then route it
The finished table has company name, headcount, funding stage, and industry per row. Sync to HubSpot or Salesforce, or export to CSV for your outbound tool of choice.
Why Clay for identifying a company
Claygent builds each firmographic profile
Get headcount, funding stage, and industry for every company in your list. Claygent browses Crunchbase, PitchBook, and each company's own site to pull the freshest data available.
Waterfall enrichment fills coverage gaps
Where a single provider misses, Clay cascades through additional sources in sequence, paying credits only on a match. Pre-built waterfalls for funding stage and headcount are already optimized for cost and coverage.
ICP scoring layers on matched signals
Assign point values to firmographic attributes like headcount range, funding stage, and hiring activity, then score every row automatically. GTM teams use this to tier accounts in minutes without leaving Clay.
Auto-sync enriched profiles to your CRM
Finished firmographic rows write back to HubSpot or Salesforce on a schedule, keeping company records current as headcount and funding stage change over time.
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 identify companies matching my ICP?
Sculptor queries Clay's Find Companies dataset, which pulls from 100+ data providers filtered by industry, region, headcount, and keywords. Enter your target criteria (for example, "SaaS companies in the Midwest"), click Generate, and Sculptor builds a filtered account list. It then runs waterfall enrichment across 5+ contact providers to locate a verified VP of Sales email for each company row.
How accurate is the company and contact data returned?
Waterfall enrichment lifts email coverage from roughly 30% with a single provider to about 80% by querying 5+ providers in sequence. ZeroBounce validates every email before it hits your CRM, so bounced addresses stay out of your outbound. Company firmographics like headcount and industry come from multiple overlapping sources, which improves match quality compared to relying on one database alone.
Can I identify companies in bulk for a whole list?
Yes. Paste a list of domains, upload a CSV, or pipe rows from an existing Clay table and Sculptor enriches every row in parallel. You can build lists of 1,000 to 3,000 accounts in a single run. When the table is ready, push it directly to HubSpot or Salesforce, or export as a CSV to load into your sequencer.
Is it legal to collect B2B company data for outreach?
GDPR allows processing business contact data under a legitimate interest basis, but you must balance that interest against the individual's rights and offer a clear opt-out. In the U.S., CAN-SPAM governs commercial email (honor unsubscribe requests within 10 days) and CCPA/CPRA treats business emails as personal information, giving recipients access and deletion rights. State laws in Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut add further requirements.
Always verify that your third-party data vendors maintain documented consent records, and check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching outreach.
