I'm searching for companies by geography and industry where can I find this?
Answer
There are a number of options one of the more user friendly is Data Axel from here select "additional filters" to generate your list. Filter options include private/public, woman owned, geography, industry and much more. Lists are downloadable.
D&B Hoovers also allows you to generate company lists, go to Search & Build Lists, select companies, and then filter your search by location, company size, industry, company type, corporate family and much more!
Pitchbook, you can generate a company list using the company & deals screener, you can filter your search by company information, industry information, deal criteria and much more! Pitchbook limits data downloads so if you generate a large list just keep this in mind.
