What is company founded year?
Company founded year is the year an account was incorporated. It's a maturity proxy: a 2024-founded company is in early-stage scrappy mode; a 1998-founded one is in steady-state with established procurement processes. Sales teams use it as an ICP filter alongside headcount, industry and revenue.
In the context of company website-based prospecting, company founded year sits downstream: you start from the company website as your lookup key, the resolver maps it to the matching record in the source graph, and the company founded year value is returned as part of the enrichment payload. The accuracy of the company founded year you get back depends on how cleanly your company website input identifies the underlying entity.
