Hello Hunters - good to be back! We're stoked to release the Discovery API, and I think this one will be especially interesting to those of you running SAAS businesses in search of new leads. We've been in closed beta for the past two months now, but we've seen some pretty awesome use-cases already such as: * Targeting similar companies Running all your existing customers through a `similar` query, finding look-alike customers. * Targeting specific tech We've also indexed the kind of technology and products a business uses. The means you can search for "all companies using Salesforce, in the Bay Area, with more than 500 employees". I'm excited to see the type of things the community is going to build on top of it!

This looks very useful. Also, big fan of Clearbit's Company logo API.

would be great if the product could be used without an API, like a demo search box somewhere

@mattsornson mmm nothing simpler? for none coders?
Matt Sornson
@ourielohayon Not yet unfortunately. Very focused on building exceptional APIs.

@mattsornson think again. Decision makers and ceo rarely code. Can't suggest your product if i I can't see what it's like

Great hustle @maccaw! Been a pleasure to follow along with Clearbit's success on Startup Timelines: http://www.startuptimelines.org/... I really think business intelligence can enhance business success by so much and is largely an underexplored area. Great to see Alex and team putting in the work.

Looks very useful, I can see plenty of applications. Also a big fan of the design. @maccaw, where is the data sourced from? Is it mainly Angellist or will there be data from SMEs and non-angellist & fortune 1000 companies?

@charliecfeng As with our Enrichment APIs, we are constantly searching dozens of sources to build out our data set. We have great coverage for SMEs, but as we look primarily at the digital footprint of organizations, if the company has no digital presence at all, they may be more difficult for us to identify. We have a trial plan, so you can always give it a try! :)

Just finished (last night) integrating with the Company API for Startuplister and have been super impressed with the data -- excited to dig into the discovery search!

Clearbit are the API gods; I use it to match email addresses all the time.
