Tracking Year-over-Year Revenue Growth for Private Companies with Clay
Is there a way to get revenue growth for private companies using Clay? I'm looking for YoY.

Yes, you can get revenue data for private companies using Clay through several data providers like Owler, HG Insights, Clearbit, and Datagma. For YoY growth calculation, you can: 1. Get current revenue data using enrichment actions from Owler (best for North American companies 500+ employees) or HG Insights 2. Access growth insights through our Company Growth Summary data point via Crunchbase, which shows how companies have expanded over time 3. Calculate growth rates using our Growth Rate Calculator tool by inputting initial and final revenue values The revenue data from these providers can give you the baseline numbers needed to calculate year-over-year growth for private companies.
Clay doesn’t directly give YoY revenue growth for private companies since that data isn’t always publicly available, but you can try this workaround: Add a Find Company step (Apollo, Clearbit, etc.) Enrich with any available estimated revenue fields If you have previous year revenue (from news, LinkedIn posts, or manual entry), create a formula column to calculate YoY growth like: ((Current_Rev - Last_Year_Rev) / Last_Year_Rev) * 100 Also, try pulling in signals like funding rounds or headcount growth as proxies they can hint at revenue trends.
You're absolutely right! Clay doesn't provide direct YoY revenue growth for private companies, but your workaround approach is solid. For revenue data, you can use: ** Owler (best for North American companies 500+ employees) ** HG Insights for revenue and revenue ranges ** Clearbit and other providers Once you have current and previous revenue data, use our Growth Rate Calculator to compute YoY growth with the formula you mentioned. For growth proxies when revenue isn't available, try our *headcount growth data which tracks employee count changes over time - this can indicate business expansion trends.
Hi Malik, Are you all sorted here?
