Company & Entity Research for Clay Account Records (with NexGenData)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Clay-compatible workflow. NexGenData is not an official Clay integration β€” these are public-data Apify actors you can run inside Clay via Clay’s native Apify integration, an HTTP API column, or CSV.

The problem: account records without verified identity

Clay can enrich a company with firmographics, but for KYC, due diligence, partnerships, and high-ACV sourcing you often need verified legal identity β€” the registered entity, its LEI, where it’s incorporated, whether it has raised on a regulated filing, and whether it owns the trademarks it claims. That comes from official registries, not from guessed data. Attaching it to your Clay records turns a name into a confirmed entity.

Who this is for

Partnerships, RevOps, compliance, and founder-led sales teams using Clay who need defensible company identity and signals from official sources.

The Clay workflow

  1. Start from your account list (company + domain) in Clay.
  2. Resolve the legal entity with the GLEIF Legal Entity Monitor (global LEI reference data).
  3. Add funding + identity with the Company Data Aggregator β€” combines GLEIF LEI with real SEC Form D private-placement filings (precision over recall: returns “no verified match” rather than guessed data).
  4. Check brand ownership with the Trademark Search actor (USPTO).
  5. Write a verdict column in Clay (verified entity / no verified match) so reps and partners trust the record.

How to run NexGenData actors inside Clay

  • Native Apify action (recommended): “Run Apify Actor” β†’ nexgendata/company-data-aggregator β†’ map company + domain β†’ run.
  • HTTP API column: POST to the actor’s run-sync-get-dataset-items endpoint with the company/domain.
  • CSV round-trip: run on Apify, export, re-import the entity table.

Illustrative sample. The aggregator returns “no verified match” instead of guessed identity.

FAQ

Where does the identity data come from? Official sources: GLEIF (LEI reference data), SEC EDGAR (Form D filings), and USPTO (trademarks). No guessed or scraped-private data.

What happens when there’s no match? The actor returns “no verified match” instead of low-confidence data, so you don’t pollute Clay records.

Is this an official Clay integration? No β€” it’s a Clay-compatible workflow using Clay’s native Apify integration with your own Apify token.
