# Use Cases

# Use Cases

Common patterns for building targeted company lists.

## Sales & Business Development

### Find Prospects by Funding Stage

Build lists of recently funded companies for outreach:

```json theme={null}
{
  "filters": {
    "funding_detail.funding_overview.funding_stage": ["series_a", "series_b"],
    "funding_detail.funding_overview.last_funding_date": {"gte": "2024-01-01"},
    "location.hq.country": ["USA"]
  },
  "sections": ["firmographic", "funding_detail", "business_model"],
  "sort_by": "revenue_estimate",
  "sort_order": "desc",
  "limit": 100
}
```

**Use case**: Find companies that recently raised capital and may be ready to purchase tools or services.

### Identify Expansion-Ready Companies

```text theme={null}
Companies with:
- $10M+ revenue
- 200+ employees
- Recent funding rounds
- No existing market presence in target region
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "filters": {
    "financial_estimate.revenue_estimate": ["1m_5m", "5m_10m"],
    "firmographic.headcount_range": ["201-500", "501-1000"],
    "funding_detail.funding_overview.total_funding_usd": {"gte": 10000000},
    "location.market_served.markets": {"exclude": ["YOUR_REGION"]}
  },
  "sections": ["firmographic", "financial_estimate", "location"],
  "limit": 50
}
```

## Investment Research

### Track Funded Companies in a Sector

Monitor funding activity in specific industries:

```json theme={null}
{
  "filters": {
    "industry.naics_codes": ["5112", "5182"],
    "funding_detail.funding_overview.funding_stage": ["seed", "series_a"],
    "firmographic.founded_year": {"gte": 2020}
  },
  "sections": ["firmographic", "funding_detail", "technology"],
  "sort_by": "total_funding",
  "sort_order": "desc",
  "limit": 100
}
```

### Find AI-Mature Companies

```json theme={null}
{
  "filters": {
    "technology.ai_maturity.scale": {"gte": 3, "lte": 5},
    "firmographic.company_type": ["private"]
  },
  "sections": ["firmographic", "technology", "company_assessment"],
  "sort_by": "founded_year",
  "sort_order": "desc",
  "limit": 50
}
```

## Market Intelligence

### Competitive Landscape

Build a list of direct competitors:

```json theme={null}
{

    "business_model.offering_type": ["saas"],
    "business_model.gtm_type": ["b2b"],
    "industry.industry": ["design_software"],
    "location.hq.region": ["north_america"]
  },
  "sections": ["firmographic", "business_model", "company_assessment"],
  "sort_by": "revenue_estimate",
  "sort_order": "desc",
  "limit": 50
}
```

### Find Companies by Business Model

```json theme={null}
{
  "filters": {
    "business_model.offering_type": ["saas"],
    "business_model.gtm_motion": ["self_serve_plg"],
    "business_model.revenue_model": ["subscription_recurring"]
  },
  "sections": ["firmographic", "business_model"],
  "limit": 100
}
```

## Partnership & Sales

### Find Potential Partners

```json theme={null}
{
  "filters": {
    "technology.has_api": true,
    "firmographic.headcount_range": ["1001-5000", "5001-10000"],
    "location.market_served.is_global": true
  },
  "sections": ["firmographic", "technology", "business_model"],
  "limit": 50
}
```

### Target Enterprise Companies

```json theme={null}
{
  "filters": {
    "funding_detail.funding_overview.funding_stage": ["series_c", "late"],
    "firmographic.headcount_range": ["5001-10000", "10001+"],

  },
  "sections": ["firmographic", "company_assessment", "business_model"],
  "sort_by": "valuation_estimate",
  "sort_order": "desc",
  "limit": 50
}
```

## Custom Queries with Natural Language

### "Healthcare SaaS companies in Europe that raised funding in 2025"

```json theme={null}
{
  "query": "Healthcare SaaS companies in Europe that raised funding in 2025",
  "sections": ["firmographic", "funding_detail"],
  "limit": 50
}
```

### "AI startups with over \$50M in funding"

```json theme={null}
{
  "query": "AI startups with over $50M in funding",
  "sections": ["firmographic", "financial_estimate", "technology"],
  "limit": 100
}
```
