Company filters
Every company filter, with what each one matches.
This page lists every filter on Company search. As on People search, several values in one filter find companies that match any of them, and different filters must all match.
Business#
| Filter | Options | What it matches |
|---|---|---|
| What they do | Typed tags, e.g. “Quick commerce, payments…” | The company’s description, specialties and category tags. |
| Sector | Six checkboxes (below) | The company’s sector. |
| Category | Typed tags, e.g. “E-Commerce, SaaS…” | Ladel’s category tags for the company. |
The six sectors are Technology and IT services; Financial services; Consumer and retail; Healthcare and pharma; Manufacturing and industrials; and Energy, infra, logistics, real estate. They’re the same sectors as the employer filter on People search.
What they do vs. Category
What they do is the broad one: it reads the description, so “EV charging” finds companies that mention it anywhere. Category matches only the tags, which is tighter but misses companies that aren’t tagged.
Location#
| Filter | Options | What it matches |
|---|---|---|
| Headquarters city | Typed tags with suggestions, e.g. “Bengaluru, Mumbai…” | The city of the company’s head office. Offices and plants elsewhere aren’t counted. |
To find people who work in a city, whatever their employer’s head office, use the location filters on People search.
Funding#
| Filter | Options | What it matches |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Listed, Private, Acquired, Closed | Whether the company is public, private, bought or shut. |
| Funding stage | Seed, Early-stage VC, Growth, Late-stage VC, Private equity, Venture stage unknown, Listed, Acquired, No rounds on record | The latest funding stage. Early-stage VC is Series A or B; late-stage VC is Series C or later. |
| Backed by | Investor names | Companies that investor has funded. |
| Total raised | Min and Max, in $M | Total equity raised, in millions of US dollars. |
| Last round between | Two dates, from and to | When the most recent round was announced. |
Limited data
Total raised is known for about 3 in 10 companies. Listed and bootstrapped ones often have none on record, so a Total raised filter leaves them out.
Size and age#
| Filter | Options | What it matches |
|---|---|---|
| Headcount | 1-200, 201-1k, 1k-5k, 5k-10k, 10k-50k, 50k+ staff | Headcount bands. |
| Exact headcount | Min and Max, in staff | An exact headcount range, such as 300 to 800. |
| Founded | Min and Max year, from 1600 to 2100 | The year the company was founded. |
Financials#
Folded by default.
| Filter | Options | What it matches |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | Min and Max, in $M | Latest revenue on record, in millions of US dollars. |
| Valuation | Min and Max, in $M | Latest valuation on record. Limited data: known for about 1 in 10 companies. |
Input rules#
- Number boxes take 0 or more. Anything else shows Enter a number, 0 or more.
- Founded years must be from 1600 to 2100, or you’ll see Enter a number from 1600 to 2100.
- Leave Min or Max empty for an open range, such as “at least $50M raised”.
Asking Haley instead#
Haley can search companies with these filters and a few more: companies a named company acquired, subsidiaries of a parent, funding rounds and acquisitions, and which investors back the most companies. See What Haley does.
Questions#
Why is $M used instead of crore?
Funding and financial data is recorded in US dollars, the way rounds are usually announced. $1M is roughly ₹8 to 9 crore, depending on the exchange rate.
Can I filter by where a company has offices?
Only by headquarters. To reach people in a city, search people by location instead, which covers everyone living there.
