"Vice President, Corporate Development at a Private Equity Fund"

What do you like best about Sourcescrub?

SourceScrub is the most essential piece to our PE tech-stack related to sourcing. The platform helps us identify, screen and target companies in my firm's sector areas. In addition providing contact info for 1-2-3 leaders at these private companies is critical in making our business development team effective and efficient in not only targeting but also in contacting companies. Moreover, SourceScrub gives us an automated way to update our internal CRM with data points on target companies such as when a company's employee base grows/shrinks, when the ownership may change, or when a company plans to attend an upcoming conference.

Over the course of the year, SourceScrub likely saves me weeks of time that I can now spend on higher value activities such as actually talking to companies. When I think about dollars, weeks of a team member's salary compared to our investment in SourceScrub is an absolute no brainer.

I'll end by saying that without SourceScrub my job would be less effective and so much harder. At my prior firm, where I was also a customer of SourceScrub, I actually got into a fight with my boss over it. After showing him the value of it in dollars and cents, he conceded and gave me the budget to purchase SourceScrub. After joining my current firm 3 years ago, I made clear in the interview process that on day 1 we needed to become a SourceScrub customer, that was a must for me to do my job well. Fortunately, the firm I'm at now saw the value in the platform right right away and we purchased SourceScrub in my first week of employment at my firm.

If sourcing companies is a part of your firm, which it should be for all firms, then SourceScrub is a necessary tool that your firm needs to have. I've not been a SourceScrub customer across two firms over 4 years, and I will be for the remainder of my career.

What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?

SourceScrub is continually updating and improving their product and offering. Is everything perfect now, no, but no platform is a silver-bullet. But for this purpose, it's the best I've experienced and my peers agree with me. It shouldn't be compared to a pitchbook or capIQ or zoominfo, those are all valuable, but they are completely different solutions and provide different areas of value.

Recommendations to others considering Sourcescrub:

You need to evaluate SourceScrub with the lens of time. How much time will it save you? How much more effective will it make you and your team

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

The ability to understand which companies are attending a specific conference we're exploring attending and which of those companies could be a target for our firm is an enormous time-saver. To give an example, I can take a conference with 500+ total exhibitors and find the specific # which fit within the size range, geography and ownership dynamics that my firm looks for. From there we can take the narrowed down # and shrink it even further after reviewing the companies' descriptions to get to a smaller # of companies that we actually feel are worth reaching out to in advance of a conference. Once conference I reviewed yesterday for example had 450 exhibitors, and in 2 minutes I narrowed it down to 67 that were worth me reviewing. After reviewing the 67, I tagged 36 companies that were interesting to my firm in 20-30 minutes. This process without the SourceScrub platform would require me to click on 450 websites, research all rather than 67. Before I had sourcescrub, planning for a conference and determing the companies we want to spend time on took half a day if not more. With SourceScrub, that 5+ hours of work is now roughly 30 minutes.

"I use SourceScrub to identify potential target companies and to learn about the industry."

What do you like best about Sourcescrub?

I use the Google Plug-in the most. It is very convenient to find quick information on a company's website (leadership contact info, previous funding, relevant news, etc.).

What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?

It would be nice if I could import a CSV of companies into SourceScrub to collect information. The current process requires a lot of "if/and/or" logic to be added in a line. This can get confusing, lengthy, and complicated.

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

SourceScrub allows me to gain a significant amount of information on interesting companies without going through an extensive process. It has certainly saved me time!

"Investment Critiria"

What do you like best about Sourcescrub?

Serach engine is a great feature of Sourcescrub. Personally, working as an investor focused on b2b software, the platform allows me to look for companies that are operating out of Israel.

What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?

I do not dislike anything about the product. Nonetheless, I would appreciate if additional information regarding companies financials would be available. Although I know that most are private and hence its not easy.

Recommendations to others considering Sourcescrub:

Use Sourcescrub's help desk in case you face any issues or have any questions. They are super helful.

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

I am able to put together industry-focused list of companies that I can reach out to and explore and part of my job as an investor. I am then able to reach out to these companies and set up an intro meeting.
