Years Founded Search Filter

Using the Year Founded Filter in Seamless.AI

The Year Founded filter allows you to target companies based on when they were established. Whether you’re searching for emerging startups or long-established enterprises, this filter helps you focus your prospecting efforts on organizations that align with your growth or partnership strategy.

Where to Find It

You can access the Year Founded filter directly within Seamless.AI’s search filters panel.  Available for both Contacts and Companies.

• Found under Company Filters in your search options
  
• Visible and accessible to all users across all plans
  
• Works within the core Seamless.AI platform, and insights can also be found within each Contact and Company profile.

How It Works

The Year Founded filter lets you narrow your search based on when a company was established. You can apply one or multiple time ranges to refine your list.

Available Filter Ranges:

• Less than a year: Newly founded organizations or early-stage startups
  
• Last 1–3 years: Young companies entering growth mode
  
• Last 4–10 years: Mid-stage companies scaling rapidly
  
• 10+ years: Established organizations with stable operations

‍

Multiple time ranges can be selected at once, giving you flexibility to create broader or more focused searches.

Example Use Cases

1. Startups: Identify early-stage companies with high growth potential that may need sales tools, automation, or hiring solutions as they scale.
   
2. Established Firms: Target mature businesses likely to have structured processes, larger teams, and available budgets for enterprise-grade products.
   
3. Mid-Stage Companies: Great for SaaS or B2B sellers targeting companies expanding their tech stack and infrastructure.
   
4. Recruiting Use Case: Find newly formed or fast-growing companies likely to be hiring for key roles, or filter by age to align outreach with the organization’s hiring cycle.

Pro Tip

Layer the Year Founded filter with other filters such as Industry, Revenue, or Tech Stack to build a hyper-targeted list of companies that fit your exact Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).

For example: Combine Year Founded: 1–3 years with Industry: to identify new fast-growing companies in your target industry.

The Year Founded filter adds valuable context to your search strategy, helping you identify where each company is in its journey, so you can deliver relevant outreach at the right time.

By combining it with Seamless.AI’s other filters, you can transform basic firmographic data into actionable insights that drive pipeline growth and smarter prospecting.
