"Best way to find privately owned businesses"

What do you like best about Sourcescrub?

Search and screening features to find relevant companies is great within SourceScrub, better than other platforms I have used. The U/I is also very easy to learn.

What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?

Generally, I find the data on the investments/acquisitions information to be less reliable than a system like PitchBook.

What problems is Sourcescrub solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finding founder owned businesses, canvassing markets, and finding lists of conference attendees. It streamlines all of these activities and makes the search process more efficient.

"Best platform for founder-owned business market mapping"

What do you like best about Sourcescrub?

Comprehensive database of privately owned businesses with well indexed search functionality that allows efficient market mapping and target finding for businesses that are traditionally hard to source.

What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?

The CRM integration does not include mapping to all fields we have in our salesforce system. Could have more mappable fields to bring into Salesforce.

What problems is Sourcescrub solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finding privately owned businesses in our area of investment are traditionally hard to find, and take many hours of google searching and other search metholds. Sourcescrub essentially does this for us.

"Great platform for identifying private companies"

What do you like best about Sourcescrub?

I save a ton of time using sourcescrub, rather than manually pulling data or scraping various sources. The ability to search across the database or find relevant industry conferences helps us identify high quality prospects. The datapoints on each company saves us from wasting our time on unqualified opportunities.

What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?

I wish that there was more flexibility in how you can search and monitor sources/conference lists over time. Some common workflows can require manual steps that greatly increase the time required to complete.

What problems is Sourcescrub solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sourcescrub solves the problem of having to collect data from various sources and gives you the full picture of each company in a normalized fashion. We've saved a ton of time using sourcescrub vs manually prospect list creation.

"THE tool to research private companies"

What do you like best about Sourcescrub?

It makes it easy for us to identify relevant M&A targets for our business. Other tools we've used omit thousands of private companies that have not raised funding...the exact type of companies that would make great targets for us to purchase.

What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?

Nothing comes to mind. There are no areas of the product that caused us any problems.

What problems is Sourcescrub solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using the product to look for potential acquisitions to scale our core business. It's really hard to find these companies using other tools, as there are very specific types of businesses that we would be interested in speaking with.

We are also trying to avoid using an investment bank, as those deals are often more expensive and over-shopped.

"Best tool for identifying potential investment opportunities"

What do you like best about Sourcescrub?

The best platform available for company and executive contact research/identification with highly reliable and accurate data that integrates with leading CRM platforms.

What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?

Not the cheapest game in town, but worth the investment if using on a regular basis.

What problems is Sourcescrub solving and how is that benefiting you?

SourceScrub has allowed my firm to take a more efficient approach to identify and contact leading companies that appear to be attractive investment opportunities based on company data and information available on the platform. Successfully leveraged the platform to identify and establish contact with a company that we ultimately invested in ~6 months after initial point of contact.

"Excellent platform for private company research and proprietary deal origination"

What do you like best about Sourcescrub?

Sourcescrub has become an integral piece of our "direct to company" workflow. The ease of use and seamless integration with Salesforce allows me to quickly filter through large amounts of data and identify companies that fit our thesis. The team at Sourcescrub is extremely responsive and always receptive to new ideas to better improve the platform.

What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?

The only feature I wish the platform had was the ability to use AI to identify similar companies.

Recommendations to others considering Sourcescrub:

Web crawling and AI to identify similar company attributes.

What problems is Sourcescrub solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sourcescrub allows me to sift through hundreds of conference attendee lists per year and pinpoint specific leads within an industry. The ability to tag and sync directly to Salesforce is a big win.
