Someone has the same issue getting in the application and never fun
That screen can sometimes get stuck if your browser session or cookies are causing issues. A few quick things usually fix it:
Log out of Clay.
Do a hard refresh of the page: • Mac: Cmd + Shift + R (Chrome/Firefox) or Cmd + Option + R (Safari) • PC: Ctrl + F5
Log back in again.
If it still hangs on that step, try opening the page in an incognito/private window to rule out cached cookies or browser conflicts.
If you want, you can also share what happens after the “Finding your company” step (does it keep spinning, error, or reload?). That helps narrow it down.

That screen is part of the cohort application flow, and the “Finding your company” step can sometimes take a bit while it checks public sources. [1]
If it’s stuck for a long time even after trying different browsers, this specific cohort application behavior isn’t covered in the available documentation. A human agent can take a closer look at the application flow with you if you’d like.
Is that what you were looking for?
I’m sorry this is still not working, and I’m here to help with the stuck company-finding step. Would you like to share how long it has been loading so we can continue troubleshooting or connect you with a human agent?
Got it — thanks for checking back in.
For cohort applications, there’s one important requirement: you need to wait at least 24 hours after creating a new Clay account before submitting the application. If the account was created recently, the application flow may not work until that waiting period passes. [1]
If you already waited 24+ hours and the “Finding your company” step is still stuck, let me know and we can figure out the next step together.
