A dynamic company list works like a static company list — you provide the company domains — but you also add persona filters to narrow down which people within those companies you care about. Results are grouped by company, with matching people shown under each one.

The difference from a dynamic people list is the grouping: a dynamic company list keeps people organized under their company, which makes it easier to think in terms of accounts — who do we know at this company, and who matches our target profile there?

How it works

When you create a dynamic company list, you provide a list of company domains and define persona filters:

  • Seniority (e.g., C-suite only, Director and above)
  • Function or department (e.g., Engineering, Finance, Marketing)
  • Title keywords (e.g., "founder", "general counsel")
  • Location

CTD then shows each company with only the people who match your filters — so instead of seeing every employee, you see just the contacts that are relevant to you.

Use cases

Sales team with a named account list

An enterprise sales team uploads their 80 target accounts and sets a persona filter for "VP-level and above in Security." Instead of seeing all employees at each company, they see only the relevant buyers — grouped by account so it's easy to prioritize which companies to focus on first.

VC firm doing deal sourcing

A VC partner uploads 100 companies they're evaluating and filters to "Founder" and "Co-founder." The list shows each company with its founding team alongside warm path signals — surfacing which partners, portfolio founders, or LPs have connections to each one.

Partnerships team mapping decision-makers at target accounts

A head of partnerships uploads 50 strategic accounts and filters to "VP of Partnerships" and "Head of Business Development." Rather than looking up each company one by one, they get a single organized view of the right contacts at every account — with warm paths to each person already surfaced.

Recruiting firm targeting hiring managers

A recruiter uploads 40 fast-growing companies and filters to "VP of Engineering" and "CTO." The dynamic company list keeps the people view narrow — only the senior engineering leaders — so the team stays focused on the right contacts rather than scrolling through full employee lists.

On Business Edition? Use a static company list with Paths view and persona filters instead — it exposes more paths and gives richer results. Dynamic company lists are a good alternative for accounts that don't have access to Paths view.
