How to build targeted prospect lists with multi-criteria filtering

[Last Updated] March 2025 [Object Tags] Sourcing, Prospect Research, Industry Filtering, Keyword Search, Multi-criteria Filtering

Overview

Create highly targeted prospect lists by combining industry focus, funding criteria, and keyword searches. This workflow (only in New Lists) uses Boolean logic, text searching in notes, and numeric filtering to narrow the sourcing universe to the most relevant opportunities.

Steps

Scenario 1: Target companies with specific dual focus

  1. Open your prospects or companies list.
  2. Click Filters+ Add condition.
  3. Industryhas all of → Select “Biotech” AND “Cell Therapy”
  4. Sort byFunding AmountLow to high
  5. Click Apply.

Scenario 2: Find early-stage companies across funding spectrum

  1. Create a filter group: Funding Amountis less than10000000 (10M) OR (click + Add condition)Funding Amountis empty
  2. Sort byDate AddedNewest first
  3. Click Apply.

Scenario 3: Keyword search with ownership prioritization

  1. Filter by keyword in notes:
  2. Notes → Contentcontains → **generative AI **
  3. Sort byOwnerA to Z (empty owners will appear last)
  4. Add secondary sort: Last ContactOldest first
  5. Click Apply.

Expected Outcome

  • Scenario 1: Companies focused exclusively on biotech AND cell therapy, sorted by funding stage
  • Scenario 2: Early-stage prospects (sub-$10M funding) plus unfunded companies, prioritized by newest additions
  • Scenario 3: Companies mentioning “generative AI” in notes, with unowned prospects listed last for assignment

Tips/Warnings

  • Use has all of when you need companies that match ALL selected industry tags (AND logic).
  • Use has any of when you want companies in ANY of the selected industries (OR logic).
  • Notes → Content searches exclude replies and use word-level matching—“care” won’t match “healthcare.”
  • Funding Amount empty values represent companies with unknown/undisclosed funding.
  • Consider creating Global industry fields for consistent taxonomy across your sourcing lists.
  • Date Added helps prioritize newly discovered companies in your sourcing pipeline.
