[How to Find Companies by Technology Stack — Build Lists in Minutes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=becPULrsikY)

## Why search companies by technology?

Your Ideal Customer Profile is often linked to a technology. If you sell a data tool, companies using Snowflake or Databricks are more likely to buy. If you sell security software, companies running Kubernetes are a better fit than those on shared hosting.

TheirStack detects technologies from job postings — the more a technology is mentioned, the higher the confidence that a company actually uses it. Search companies by the tools they use internally, and combine that with firmographic filters like size, industry, and funding.

Common reasons to start a technology-based search:

-   **Must-have technologies** — Find accounts using a technology your product requires, so you can focus outbound on high-fit prospects (e.g., Prometheus → Grafana, ClickHouse → ClickHouse Cloud).
-   **Competitor customers** — Identify companies using competitor tools to build competitive lists, tailor positioning, and prioritize accounts already paying for a similar solution.
-   **Partners or integrations** — Target accounts using partner tools or integrations your product supports (e.g., accounting, payments, productivity tools) to increase conversion rates with a clear "works with your stack" message.

## Find companies using a specific technology

1.  **Open a new company search**
    
    Go to [Company Search](https://app.theirstack.com/search/companies/new) and click "Search Companies".
    
2.  **Add a technology filter**
    
    In the **Technology** filter, start typing a technology name and select one or more. You can combine multiple technologies — use "is any of" to match companies using at least one, or "contains all of" to match companies using all of them.
    
3.  **Narrow down your results**
    
    Combine technology filters with company filters to match your ICP.
    
    **Company filters** — all [company search](/en/docs/app/company-search) filters are available:
    
    -   **Employees** — Target a company size range (e.g., 100–1,000 for mid-market)
    -   **HQ Country** — Filter by where the company is headquartered
    -   **Company type** — Set to "Direct employer" to exclude recruiting agencies
    -   **Industry, revenue, funding stage** — and more
    
    **Technology filters** — go deeper than just "uses technology X":
    
    -   **Keyword confidence** — Set to "High" to only see companies with strong evidence of usage
    -   **First date found** — Find recent adopters (e.g., first detected in the last 90 days)
    -   **Last date found** — Exclude stale data where the technology hasn't been mentioned recently
    -   **Jobs mentioning keyword** — Set a minimum to focus on companies with heavy usage
4.  **Explore the technology signals**
    
    A column is added for each technology you filtered by. Each cell shows the technology logo, name, and a **confidence level** (High, Medium, or Low).
    
    Hover over any technology cell to see:
    
    -   **Job count** — How many jobs mention this technology (click to view them)
    -   **Date range** — When it was first and last detected
    -   **Occurrence within category** — What percentage of mentions in this category go to this technology
    
    This lets you quickly assess how heavily a company relies on a technology before reaching out. Learn more about [how we source technographic data](/en/docs/data/technographic/how-we-source-tech-stack-data).
    
5.  **Reveal companies**
    
    Results appear in [preview mode](/en/docs/api-reference/features/preview-data-mode) — company names and domains are blurred. Click **Reveal** to unlock a company's full data. Each reveal costs 1 [company credit](/en/docs/pricing/credits) and gives you access for 90 days.
    
    Browse the revealed companies, then go back and refine your filters to exclude companies that don't match your ICP — adjust industry, size, or funding until the results are tight.
    
6.  **Export or take action**
    
    -   **[Export](/en/docs/app/company-search#export-data)** to CSV, Excel, or webhook
    -   **[Find people](/en/docs/app/contact-data/find-people)** at target companies — select companies, click "[Find People](/en/docs/guides/how-to-automate-ad-chase-recruiting-agency)", and choose an integration (Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ContactOut, or LinkedIn Recruiter). It opens with your companies and job titles pre-filled.
    -   **[Get the list using the API](/en/docs/api-reference/quickstart)** to reproduce your search programmatically
    -   **Save the search** and enable [email alerts](/en/docs/app/saved-searches/email-alerts) for new matches
    -   **Get Slack notifications** whenever a new company matches your filters via [webhooks](/en/docs/webhooks)
