Direction, not just size
Build the list from change
Companies growing past a threshold, not a static list of names that was true last quarter. For go-to-market teams.
Build the account list from what companies are doing now.
Criteria in, the accounts that match out. Filter on firmographics and on what changed — headcount by department, funding, hiring and leadership moves — live across 60M+ companies rather than from a list that was true last quarter.

What you can search on
Firmographics are the floor, not the answer.
Every account list starts with who a company is. What makes it useful is what changed since the last time you looked.
Who the company is
Name, domain, industry, company type, year founded and size band — the firmographics every list starts from.
Where it operates
Country, headquarters and the other offices — so a territory is a filter rather than a spreadsheet sort.
Change
How big, moving which way
Total headcount, and the change across one, three, six and twelve months — direction, not just size.
Ours
Which team is growing
Headcount by department and how each one moved — engineering hiring hard is a different signal from sales hiring hard.
Funding and filings
Total raised, last round type, amount and date, the investors on it, and the IPO date where a company is public.
Who it is hiring
Open roles and which functions they sit in — intent stated in public before anyone answers a call.
Who is leading it
Validated leadership and the changes between them, so a new decision maker is something you can search for.
How they combine
Group criteria with and/or and nest them, match ranges and dates, and sort the result by the number that matters.
Live or bulk
Ask the question, or hold the answers.
Search runs against the graph when you ask. The dataset hands you the records to keep. Most teams end up using both, and this is the honest way to work out which one you need first.
| Company Search | Company Dataset | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | The companies matching a description, returned per query. | The records themselves, delivered as files on your schedule. |
| Freshness | Live against the graph — a company that moved this week shows as it is now. | A cut you hold, refreshed on the cadence you agree. |
| Use it when | The question changes often, or it belongs to a user inside your product. | You are running the same joins repeatedly and want the data in your warehouse. |
| Together | Hold the bulk cut for the joins you repeat, and search live over the same graph for the accounts that only became interesting yesterday. | |
How it works
Describe, run, open up.
Search returns companies. The fourth step is the one that turns an account list into people you can actually reach.
- 01Describe the accountsCombine firmographics with change — size, region, funding, department growth.
- 02LiveWe run it across the graphAgainst 60M+ companies as they stand, not against a stored result set.
- 03Get the accounts that matchSorted by the number you care about — size, raise, growth.
- 04Open them into peopleHand the accounts to People Search or Decision Makers.
Use cases
What teams describe, and what comes back.
Each of these is one search. The difference is only which change is doing the work.
Rounds on the record
While the budget is new
Catch them just after they raise
Filter on round type, amount and date, so you arrive while the money is still being allocated. For sales and partnerships.
Which team, not just how many
See which team is being built
Headcount by department tells you what a company is actually investing in. For teams selling to one function.
Open roles · by function
Intent, stated in public
Read hiring as intent
What a company is hiring for says what it is about to build, months before it says so. For account research.

FAQs

answered
How is this different from the Company Dataset?
Search answers a question against the graph as it stands. The Company Dataset hands you records to hold and query yourself. Same graph underneath — the choice is whether you want the answer or the data.
Can we search companies, then get the people inside them?
Yes, and that is the usual pattern. Company Search gives you the accounts; People Search or Decision Makers gives you who to reach inside each one.
Do you really have headcount by department?
Yes — and the change in each. It is the difference between knowing a company grew 30% and knowing the growth was all in engineering, which is usually the part that decides whether an account is worth a call.
What do you not hold?
Web traffic, SEO metrics, review-platform ratings, social follower counts and competitor mapping. We would rather say so than have you discover it after signing. If your case depends on one of those, tell us and we will say plainly whether we are the right fit.
Are results live, or from a stored index?
Live. A search runs against the graph at the moment you ask, so a company that raised or reorganised this week shows as it is now rather than as a snapshot remembered it.
Can we offer the search to our own users?
Yes — platforms run it inside their own product under their own brand. Tell us what you are building and we will scope it with you.
