Hey guys, Looking for a cost effecient and accurate way to enrich companies in clay with funding info (Latest funding round) I want to focus on only VC backed Series funding companies but am running into an issue with claygent pulling a series C for a company that has since been acquired (which is an ICP DQ for us) etc. appreciate any feedback on this
Here's a Lusha workflow that enriches company funding signals, specifically, that integrates with Clay. Cost-wise, it's a play before you pay model in case you aren't happy with the results. Hopefully that helps, Liron D.!
Hey Liron! The issue is that Claygent pulls whatever it finds and funding history stays online forever, so an acquired company still shows its last round. Two things that help: Add a separate acquisition check as its own column - a simple Claygent prompt asking specifically whether the company has been acquired, gone public, or shut down. Run it as a filter before the funding enrichment so you're only enriching companies that are still independent. Also capture the funding date, not just the round. Anything older than 24-36 months is worth treating as stale regardless of what the round says. The combination of those two filters out most of the noise.
is Claygent the best way to do this?
You're probably better off sourcing a list of funded companies and then qualifying if ICP fit than to generate a list of companies and then check their funding status. There are funding databases that make this easier.
