How do I filter out search results for companies that are fake, or have been acquired? My table throws up a ton of junk, and includes companies that have been acquired, like WhatsApp. What sort of enrichment and filters do I have to run to find the actual companies I'm looking for? Here is the table I'm using

    Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫢 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table πŸ˜‰

    I see now, unfortunately, that LinkedIn doesn't offer a filter for these but only the industries the companies display on their profiles. It could be combined to find company news and filter for acquisition and merger news, then a filter can be applied to not show those in the table. Otherwise, not sure if there's a database that would have a filter to show companies with the specific criteria you're looking for and then importing for further enrichment.
