If you’re doing outbound—whether you run a lead gen agency or you’re part of a sales team—there’s one kind of company that always stands out: recently funded ones.

Think about it. A company that’s just raised a round of funding is usually in growth mode. That often means they’re hiring, building new systems, investing in tools, and open to trying new solutions to scale faster. In other words, they have both the money and the motivation to buy.

Compared to bootstrapped or stagnant companies, funded companies are way more likely to take a meeting, explore new software, or outsource services. But here’s the catch: you can’t just guess who’s been funded. You need real, accurate data to act on.

Why clean funding data matters more than ever

There’s a lot of noise out there. You might stumble across a random “Top 50 Startups” list or dig through outdated directories—but those aren’t reliable. Targeting companies based on old or unverifiable data wastes time and burns your outreach efforts.

What you really need is up-to-date, trustworthy funding data, ideally combined with other company insights like team size, tech stack, and industry.

That’s where Persana comes in.

Introducing the new Funding Filter on Persana

We just launched a Funding filter on Persana, and it makes it incredibly easy to find companies that are backed by fresh capital.

Here’s how to use it:

1. Log into your Persana dashboard.

2. Click on “Find Companies” to start building a lead list.

3. Scroll down to the Company Details dropdown in the filter menu.

4. Look for the Funding filter (just below the Revenue filter).

5. Choose your preferred funding amount (e.g. $1M+, $10M+, etc.).

6. Narrow it down further by selecting the funding date range (like “last 30 days” or “last 6 months”).

Within seconds, you’ll get a list of companies that have recently raised money—qualified and ready for your outreach.

You can also stack this filter with others—like industry, employee count, or even technologies used—to find your ideal targets.

Closing the gap between insight and outreach

The funding filter is just one of many ways Persana helps you prospect smarter. With one click, you can generate laser-targeted lead lists, enrich them with key contact info, and push them directly into your favorite outbound tools—all without jumping between tabs or tools.

Instead of spending hours digging for data, you can focus on what actually moves the needle: writing better emails and having better conversations.

If you’re serious about getting in front of companies that are ready to grow—and buy—this new filter is a must-try.
