Source Find Companies

1. Configure the source to your preferences:
   • Industries to include and exclude
   • Company size
   • Annual revenue ranges — Filter by revenue brackets from $0–$500K up to $100B+.
   • Funding amount
   • Company types — Privately Held, Public Company, Partnership, Self Employed, Non Profit, Educational, Self Owned, or Government Agency.
   • Keywords to include or exclude
     • Exact phrase matching: Wrap multi-word terms in single or double quotes to search for that exact phrase. For example, searching for "Google Cloud" finds companies with "Google Cloud" in their description — not just companies that mention Google and cloud separately. Note: Special characters (#, +, !) and stopwords ('a', 'an', 'of', 'the') are stripped out even with quoted phrases.
   • Semantic company description — Enter a free-text description to help rank results based on how closely they match your ideal company profile (e.g., "B2B fintech company selling to mid-market banks").
   • Location — Filter by country, and separately by city or state. Both support include and exclude.
   • Minimum member count / Maximum member count — Filter by the number of LinkedIn members associated with the company.
   • AI filters — Clay-generated attributes applied to company profiles:
     • Industries and Subindustries (include or exclude)

     • Vendors — e.g., AWS, Salesforce, HubSpot
     • Products — e.g., Amazon EC2, Salesforce Sales Cloud
     • Main categories and Parent categories
