"I use SourceScrub to identify potential target companies and to learn about the industry."
4.5/5
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.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform for identifying private companies"
4.5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great sourcing database for investment professionals"

What do you dislike about Sourcescrub?

Sometimes you will come across emails that have not been verified, which give you a bounce. However, the research team has pretty quick turnover so those bounced emails can be corrected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its an ugly platform and fundraising history isnt always accurate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Vice President, Corporate Development at a Private Equity Fund"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
