Sector Growth Champions

Spot mid-market firms with sustained revenue CAGR and hiring momentum — benchmarked and tagged to your taxonomy.

Spot mid-market firms with sustained revenue CAGR and hiring momentum — benchmarked and tagged to your taxonomy.

Why this matters

Why this matters

Traditional databases miss mid-market firms that drive sector disruption. They classify companies under rigid codes (NAICS/NACE), ignoring emerging verticals like CleanTech or RetailTech.

Consultants, SaaS vendors, and foresight teams need a radar that surfaces real growth champions: firms with sustained revenue CAGR, headcount expansion, and mapped into custom taxonomies aligned with strategy. This segment delivers just that, with explainable drivers and sector roll-ups in client-defined categories.

Your questions on this segment, answered

What’s the real added value compared to a standard financial database?

Traditional datasets only track revenue. By blending financial and workforce signals, we surface true disruptors earlier — before they appear in legacy rankings — giving you an edge in GTM and foresight.

Can I see why a company got a high or low score?

Yes. Each Growth Champion Score comes with explainable drivers — revenue CAGR, headcount velocity, and taxonomy context — so you can validate and justify the ranking.

How can my sales or strategy team use this segment in practice?

You can rank mid-market accounts by growth momentum, prioritize outreach to fast-scaling firms, and roll up results by sector or region for planning. The dataset plugs directly into CRM or BI in 72h.

How do you ensure the Growth Champion Score is comparable across sectors?

Scores are normalized by volatility and benchmarked within peer groups. That way, a 20% CAGR in software isn’t treated the same as a 20% CAGR in heavy industry — context is embedded.

Can we apply our own sector taxonomy instead of NAICS?

Yes. We map each firm not only to standardized codes but also to your custom taxonomy. This ensures results reflect your strategic categories (e.g. CleanTech, Smart Mobility) rather than rigid classifications.

How reliable are the financial and headcount data you use?

We enrich open financial filings with curated APIs and cross-check workforce signals from web intelligence. Each field carries a confidence score, so you see data reliability before using it in your pipeline.

How do you identify which companies qualify as “growth champions”?

We combine financial CAGR (3Y/5Y) with validated headcount momentum (12M/24M). These signals are normalized for volatility and benchmarked at sector level. Only firms showing consistent revenue growth and workforce expansion are flagged.
