Vice President, Business Development Venture Capital & Private Equity Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best tool for identifying potential investment opportunities" April 30, 2021 5.0 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. Pros The best platform available for company and executive contact research/identification with highly reliable and accurate data that integrates with leading CRM platforms. Cons Not the cheapest game in town, but worth the investment if using on a regular basis. Review Source GS Gabe S. Senior Associate Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, efficient product" November 7, 2022 5.0 Very positive, endless database of companies Pros Better than any other tool out there for sourcing bootstrapped businesses Cons Can appear to have a clunky, dated UI/UX; sometimes data is off primarily given pulls from other sites Reason for choosing Sourcescrub we used datafox but churned off of it to use sourcescrub Review Source SP Samuel P. Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Essential tool for increasing proprietary dealflow" March 8, 2023 4.0 Pros SS aggregates and organizes key data points about prospective investments for us to comb through. The volume and quality of this information is high quality and hard to find using alternatives. Cons Some of the UI is a little outdated, however I contacted support about a couple changes I'd like to see implemented and they took the feedback and changed some things. Great to see they are in-touch with their users. Review Source MK Michelle K. Chief Deal Officer Capital Markets Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Source Scrub: Easy to use, wealth of information" September 13, 2023 5.0 The SS platform is user friendly and chalk full of valuable data and information. Customer service with our account reps has been great. They worked with me as I was launching my business to ensure I had the resources I needed without going over budget. I absolutely recommend SS for a valuable user experience. Pros The boolean search feature, along with list saving and tagging are all great functionalities that create an efficient process. Cons We still receive a lot of bounced emails. SS makes the process fairly simply in getting these corrected, but it requires revisiting the same contacts a second time. Reason for choosing Sourcescrub Easy of extracting data and managing tags/saving lists. Review Source PG Patrick G. Managing Director Venture Capital & Private Equity Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product, Great Team" March 7, 2023 5.0 Pros Efficiency gains. Saved a ton of time for my team while they were prospecting. Cons Nothing current. Very satisfied with the product. They have been very receptive to feedback over the years. Alternatives considered [PitchBook](https://www.capterra.com/p/202323/PitchBook/)[Grata](https://www.capterra.com/p/193002/Product-Search/) Reason for choosing Sourcescrub Better data, better quality, better support Review Source SW Sabrina W. Private Equity Associate Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SourceScrub Review" April 28, 2021 5.0 Sourcescrub has been very useful to our firm for sourcing new deal opportunities and doing thematic sourcing work. The team is also amazing - always very responsive and there to help work around all your needs. Pros Great tool for sourcing new companies and finding available data. Also data plugs directly into CRM, which makes it easy to figure out what private data you have on the company, if you've met them, etc. Plug in feature to your web browser is also really helpful to easily understand data points on the company. Cons Would be useful if you could integrate the software directly into email, so you can update and view companies while you are in your email directly. I think a few other providers have this function. Review Source MM Meghan M. Investor Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for Sourcing" March 8, 2023 5.0 I've become more efficient with using SourceScrub for sourcing efforts, especially in outbound emails and conference scrubbing. I use it alongside other similar tools so I don't utilize the full product functionality, but I find it very complementary. Pros SourceScrub is a great tool for sourcing, it's a one stop shop for company overviews, investment history, growth, and finding company contact information. I find that the information is reliable, thorough, and up to date. Cons I find the search tool to be non-intuitive and tricky, I wish it was easier to look up companies without having to constantly refresh Review Source CM Connor M. Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SourceScrub Review" April 22, 2021 4.0 Overall it is much easier to source potential investments and screen them quickly. Automates what used to be very manual process (i.e. excel spreadsheets, crunchbase, checking Linkedin, etc.). Would definitely recommend to anyone in growth equity / venture capital Pros Easy to track companies and manage a pipeline for potential investments. Chrome add-in is great; you click the sidebar and you get information on the size of company, investors, number of employees, brief description, etc. Cons Search function in-app can be difficult because you need the exact legal / incorporation name to find the company you are searching for. Much easier to enter the URL and use the chrome add-in Review Source AN Artie N. Investment Banking Investment Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Elegant and Time-Saving Solution" April 27, 2022 5.0 Pros Browser integration enables user to very easily to see key info about a company when on their website - including overview, key personnel and contact information, investments, and which "source lists" the company was found. These "source lists" also make it much easier to build out landscapes, identify peers, and generally conduct market research. Cons Depth and reliability of information available for private companies is generally pretty good, but this is the key area I would like to see improved. Review Source SG Selby G. Sourcing & Database Administrator Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sourcescrub - Different from other M&A databases" March 7, 2023 5.0 Overall, great experience and certainly different from all the other M&A databases. If conferences are a key focus for your firm, I would recommend. Pros CRM enrichment, conference attendee lists, and lead sourcing. Cons UI is not as intuitive as I'd like. Sometimes conferences aren't available until a couple weeks out. Review Source AA Aman A. Director of Analytics Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Go to tool for Investment firms" August 9, 2023 5.0 Pros Events and related information is super useful Cons Financial information about the companies Review Source DD Drew D. Senior Associate Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool" April 25, 2021 5.0 Pros Quick view on companies, interactions and ability to get intel Cons Export limitations can be frustrating at times Review Source RB Ryan B. Associate Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great stuff" April 27, 2022 4.0 Pros No frills sourcing platform, Straight to the point and cuts out a lot of the unnecessary bulk you see in alot of other platforms Cons UI is ugly making it an eye sore to look at Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate Investment Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good tool" March 8, 2023 5.0 Pros We use SourceScrub to search target for our companies and look for relevant conference. Cons Sometimes hard to find more information about the company. Sometimes get irrelevant target list Review Source CF Colby F. Investment Banking Analyst Investment Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Tool for Market Research and Origination" July 1, 2022 4.0 Their customer support team is highly personal and always were able to address any issues I had in short order. Pros The ease of use within the platform, and sheer number of sources available. Cons The software could offer more industry/vertical classifications of the companies they profile. Review Source NR Nathan R. Associate Venture Capital & Private Equity Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Big Time Saver" April 25, 2021 5.0 A very good software system overall, I had just used it out. Pros When searching for companies in a given vertical, it had very good tools to narrow down your search. It had almost all semi-major conferences and had contact info for basically all companies. It was a big time saver when searching for new companies to search for. Cons No, major bugs really. It just becomes marginally useful with time, especially where a lot of others in the market use it as well. Review Source AC Adam C. Junior Analyst Investment Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "SourceScrub Review" March 8, 2023 5.0 Pros Easy private company screening that mapped a universe of buy-side targets. Cons Would like a dark mode and a feature to complex search by filtering for terms to "NOT" include. Review Source JB Jared B. Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Enjoying SourceScrub" April 27, 2022 4.0 Very positive - unique dataset Pros Google Chrome Extension is best I have seen among other similar data providers and very useful for workflow Cons Sometimes feels busy from UX perspective Review Source JS Joe S. Business Development Capital Markets Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Proprietary Deal Source" June 17, 2022 5.0 Pros SourceScrub has very sharp screening functionality, connects targets to conference lists, and has great contact information on executives. Cons The software was a bit more expensive than competitors but there is more hands touching the data, so it's understandable. Review Source BR Brandon R. Associate of Corporate Development Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Product" April 27, 2022 5.0 Pros The Google Plug-in is a great feature for quickly finding information. Cons The search criteria logic can get complicated. The logic is also all applied on one line, making it difficult to edit.
