Multi-source company discovery is now essential.

Best alternative sources:

SourceBest ForCoverage
LinkedIn Sales NavigatorMost complete90%
CrunchbaseFunded companies60%
BuiltWithTech stack targeting70%
TheirStackHiring signals65%
Google MapsLocal/SMB80%

Signal-based targeting approach:

  1. Hiring signals (TheirStack): Companies posting SDR, BDR, RevOps, GTM Engineer jobs = high intent
  2. Funding signals (Crunchbase): Seed/Series A/B raised within 180 days = budget available
  3. Tech signals (BuiltWith): Must have CRM, nice to have Marketing Automation = right fit
  4. Growth signals (LinkedIn): Employee growth >20% in 12 months = scaling

Merge strategy: Combine all sources and dedupe on domain. Prefer data from the source with highest coverage for your ICP.
