SourceScrub review
A focused platform for finding, scoring, and tracking private-company targets.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
SourceScrub is a cloud-based private-market deal sourcing and research platform for investment banks, private equity firms, corporate development teams, and consultants. It brings together private-company profiles from connected sources such as conference, award, and industry lists, then supports search, screening, contact data, company signals, and target tracking. Deal teams can use AI-assisted filtering, similar-company recommendations, custom scoring, tagging, alerts, and CRM workflows to build and maintain a focused target pipeline.
Pricing is quote-based and organized into three plans. Essentials provides essential tools and data for private-market discovery, with one score and five rules. Plus adds trend and signal data for discovery and tracking, expands the allowance to one score and 15 rules, and includes 250 companies. Professional is designed for scaling cross-functional teams, with one score, unlimited rules, and 1,000 companies. The plan structure makes the trade-off between discovery depth, rule flexibility, and company volume clear, while requiring a sales conversation to choose a tier.
SourceScrub supports web access, a Chrome extension, and an API. The browser extension displays company data while browsing, while CRM integration offers bidirectional synchronization. Data Connect Cloud and API access let firms incorporate company data into their own data and analytics workflows. These connections suit teams that already organize sourcing in a CRM or need company intelligence in broader systems. The product remains centered on identifying and ranking private-company targets, so teams seeking transaction execution or a broader banking workflow should consider a platform built for those activities instead.
