Best tool for identifying potential investment opportunities
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.
PROSThe best platform available for company and executive contact research/identification with highly reliable and accurate data that integrates with leading CRM platforms.
CONSNot the cheapest game in town, but worth the investment if using on a regular basis.

Essential tool for increasing proprietary dealflow
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.
CONSSome of the UI is a little outdated, however I contacted support about a couple changes I'd like to see implemented and they took the feedback and changed some things.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.

SourceScrub Review
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.
PROSGreat 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.
CONSWould 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.

Source Scrub: Easy to use, wealth of information
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.
PROSThe boolean search feature, along with list saving and tagging are all great functionalities that create an efficient process.
CONSWe 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.
Reasons for switching to Sourcescrub
The ease of source scrub within my business processes, availability of linkedin url's, the boolean search terms and ease of requesting corrected email addresses.

SourceScrub Review
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
PROSEasy 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.
CONSSearch 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

Elegant and Time-Saving Solution
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.
CONSDepth and reliability of information available for private companies is generally pretty good, but this is the key area I would like to see improved.

Great for Sourcing
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.
PROSSourceScrub 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.
CONSI find the search tool to be non-intuitive and tricky, I wish it was easier to look up companies without having to constantly refresh

A Big Time Saver
A very good software system overall, I had just used it out.
PROSWhen 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.
CONSNo, major bugs really. It just becomes marginally useful with time, especially where a lot of others in the market use it as well.

Sourcescrub - Different from other M&A databases
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.
PROSCRM enrichment, conference attendee lists, and lead sourcing.
CONSUI is not as intuitive as I'd like. Sometimes conferences aren't available until a couple weeks out.

Great Proprietary Deal Source
SourceScrub has very sharp screening functionality, connects targets to conference lists, and has great contact information on executives.
CONSThe software was a bit more expensive than competitors but there is more hands touching the data, so it's understandable.
