Deal Sourcing Private Companies Signals
Overview
SourceScrub is a private-company sourcing platform whose differentiator is how it finds companies: millions of profiles assembled from tens of thousands of curated 'sources' — conference exhibitor lists, industry awards, association directories — where bootstrapped businesses actually show up. Investors get firmographics, growth signals and contact data, plus CRM sync and a browser extension, making it a staple for thesis-driven sourcing outside the funded-startup echo chamber.
