Ocean
Mark's hot take
“Big fan of Ocean. I love how simple the filters are to use to build lists. I start with a lookalike list and then refine with the filters. Where Ocean excels over other databases is the way that they have essentially scraped data from websites, which means if you are searching for a very specific company that only does a specific thing, Ocean is the best tool to find this data. In addition, once you build the account list, you can easily then search for the contacts within those accounts which surprisingly is a challenge in other B2B databases. ”
