      Using Location Filters

      Pinpoint your target market.

      Location data is essential for identifying ideal market targets. Our customers recognize the value of both headquarters and operating locations. Inven empowers you to target companies based on these factors, along with crucial metrics like headcount growth. Unlock the potential of location intelligence to drive your business forward.

      Headquarter Location​

      With Inven, you can search for companies based on their headquarters location, whether you're looking for businesses nearby or across the globe. You can enter information at the country, state, city, or even location grouping (i.e APAC, Europe, Western Europe, DACH, New England States, etc).

      Operating Location Filter​

      Discover where companies truly operate with our new Operating Location filter. Beyond headquarters, identify companies active in specific locations. Specify multiple areas and refine results by minimum headcount and growth.

      Unlike the Headquarters filter, the Operating Location filter focuses on where a company's employees are based.

      Operating location: Where a company has employees.

      Example: Find companies with HQ in United States, offices in Europe.

      All of: Find companies with employees in every selected location.

      Example: Find companies with offices in both New York and London.

      Any of: Find companies with employees in at least one of the selected locations.

      Example: Find companies with offices in either Los Angeles or San Francisco.

      Headcount Growth by Location​

      Investor & Target Location​

      In addition to locating companies, in the Investor Search tab, you can also search for investors based on their location. Even more valuable, you can filter companies' locations to find investors who have previously invested in similar geographic areas.
