We are way more than a Sourcescrub competitor! Read on to discover how much more Grata can do for you.
Grata and Sourcescrub share a common origin. Both company's founders come from M&A backgrounds and both saw a need for private company insights– a huge problem for dealmakers.
But the solutions developed at Grata and Sourcescrub are dramatically different. Sourcescrub is a manually maintained database used to find company information; Grata is a software company that is transforming deal sourcing.
Grata’s proprietary artificial intelligence gathers information straight from the source — a company’s own website.
Our AI understands the nuances of a business and what makes it unique, going much deeper than a company’s description and keywords. Grata quickly acquires and clearly displays the information dealmakers need to make informed decisions like employee estimates, company growth, and funding data.
Sourcescrub manually collects data. Their company data cannot be refreshed at the same rate as Grata’s.
Grata is a software company built on ML/AI technology, identifying companies based on their website and other data sources.
It validates data through a fully automated machine learning system, with built-in anomaly detection. Our proprietary artificial intelligence gathers information directly from companies in their own words but also translates what those words mean to an investor.
For example, Grata translates language on a company’s webpage to the correct label “Services Company” or “Software.” We not only collect website information, our tech knows how to speak a dealmaker’s language.
Grata’s independent auditors confirm that Grata’s data is over 97% accurate. Company profiles are not only refreshed, but expanded at a speed that a team of humans can not replicate.
Sourcescrub is a data services company that leverages an outsourced team to manually aggregate and review companies identified through various lists (conferences, events, industry, etc)
Sourcescrub boasts a “data set that is validated and interpreted by a 650-person data operations team.” The database is manually updated and refreshed – it’s an impressive hive of people, but limited in how quickly they can update information.
Sourcescrub claims to have 10 million company profiles. If Sourcescrub hand checks all of their data, it would require 5,000-15,000 data analysts to maintain 10M companies (5-15 min per profile audit).
According to Linkedin, Sourcescrub only has 1,000 data analysts.

As a result of Grata’s technology-first approach, Grata tracks millions of companies. Grata provides deeper search capabilities and enables dealmakers to find the private companies that fit their investment thesis that could not easily be found in a private company database.

Searchable companies
Both Grata and Sourcescrub allow you to search through company profiles, but with a few key differences.
Sourcescrub’s keyword search matches against a short 2-3 sentence human-written company description, greatly limiting investors with the results that come up. This kind of search restricts thematic-based sourcing.
The reason behind proprietary sourcing is to find and approach a company first. Sourcescrub lists show the same companies in the same order for every investor. Your competitors are seeing all of the same companies that you are in Sourcescrub. To be first in line, you need the competitive edge that Grata’s search provides.
Grata has more companies to search through and a powerful keyword matching search that helps you find the right companies. Type in any keyword and Grata will match against the company's entire website, enabling users to surface companies beyond high level industry classifications.
The biggest difference between Sourcescrub and Grata’s search results is a tool called “Similar Search.”
Grata uses a deep understanding of a company’s website to identify the essence of a company factoring in hundreds of qualitative factors bucketed into groups like products, features, and target verticals, as well as quantitative factors like size and funding.
Click one button and automatically populate a new list of companies. “Similar Search” ensures you won't miss a single company.

Because Sourcescrub relies on manual methods, their data decays over time. It is challenging to maintain quality and consistency, while Grata’s machine learning models improve every day. In 2023, Sourcescrub’s G2 rating dropped to a 4.3. In 2023, Grata maintained its G2 4.8 rating. Grata’s independent auditors confirm that Grata’s data is over 97% accurate.
Grata has more companies with contacts than Sourcescrub has total companies. Because Grata has 7M more hard-to-find companies without contacts, Grata’s data appears more sparse (30% fill rate). Grata’s on-demand contact enrichment feature averages 85% fill rates and ensures most of the companies on your list are reachable.
If Sourcescrub hand checks all of their data, it would require 5,000-15,000 data analysts to maintain 10M companies (5-15 min per profile audit). According to Linkedin, Sourcescrub only has 1,000 data analysts
