Frequently asked questions

How does Sculptor find companies by tech stack?

Sculptor queries multiple technographic providers, including HG Insights, BuiltWith, and BuyerCaddy, in a single waterfall. You type the target technology (for example, Salesforce or HubSpot), and Clay checks each source in sequence until it finds matching companies. Once it builds the account list, it appends a verified VP of Sales email to every row so you can move straight to outreach.

How accurate is Clay's technographic data for targeting?

HG Insights, one of Clay's primary technographic providers, reports 90% accuracy across 20,000+ tracked products and 13.2M+ companies. Clay's waterfall approach improves overall coverage by querying the next provider when one returns no result, pushing usable match rates from roughly 30% with a single source to 80% or higher. BuyerCaddy adds a verification step covering 90,000+ technology providers for extra confidence.

Can I find technographic data for a whole list at once?

Yes. Paste a list of target technologies or upload a CSV of company domains, and Clay enriches every row in parallel through the technographic waterfall. Once enrichment finishes, push the results directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive, or export as a CSV to load into your sequencer. No manual reformatting needed between enrichment and outreach.

Is it legal to cold email contacts found through tech stack data?

In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM Act permits unsolicited B2B commercial email as long as you include a valid physical address, honor opt-out requests within 10 business days, and avoid deceptive subject lines or headers. Penalties reach up to $53,088 per non-compliant message. In the EU, GDPR allows B2B outreach under a legitimate interest basis, but you must document why the contact is relevant and provide a clear way to object.

Rules vary by jurisdiction, so check local regulations before launching any campaign.
