Most tools treat your network as a side feature or ignore it. Clean finds the companies with a reason to buy, then shows who in your team's LinkedIn network can introduce you to the people at each one.

The short answer
Clean finds warm prospects by combining two things: companies whose dated records show a reason to buy what you sell, and your team's LinkedIn connections. For each prospect it ranks against your ICP, it shows who on your team can introduce you, so you can start with the companies where you already have a way in.
A warm prospect is not just someone you happen to know. It is a company that fits your ICP and has a reason to buy, where someone on your team knows the person you need to reach. Most tools give you one half of that, or neither.
There is a step between spotting a warm path and using it: knowing whether the company is worth it. Clean does the finding and the ranking, shows the records behind each company and who can introduce you, and leaves the ask to you.
Clean finds the people at each company through licensed data providers, so it names them with nothing connected. When your team connects LinkedIn, Clean also searches LinkedIn and reads profiles, work history and connections through that account, read-only, to find and confirm the right people. For every company it ranks, it checks whether someone your team knows is connected to the people you want to reach, and shows that introduction on the prospect. It never posts, messages or sends connection requests.
Standard prospecting tools build a list and hand it to you; they don't know your company or your team's network. Without both, they can't tell you which companies are worth reaching and which of those you already have a way into.
How different tools treat your existing network
| Tool type | Network awareness | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Cold contact database | None: sourced independently of you | None; filters are manual and shallow |
| Generic AI prospecting | Minimal | Weak; no reason to reach out |
| Manual LinkedIn browsing | High, but fully unassisted | Patchy; depends on your own judgment |
| Clean | Shows who on your team can introduce you | Ranked against your ICP, with the records behind each company |
A warm prospect has both a way in and a real fit. Knowing someone doesn't make their company a buyer. Clean ranks companies on their records and their fit with your ICP first, then shows the warm path where one exists.
For the research, yes. Instead of an hours-long hunt, you get a ranked list of companies with a reason to buy and who on your team can introduce you. Deciding when to ask for the introduction stays with you.
No. The LinkedIn connection is read-only: Clean never posts, sends messages or connection requests, or changes anything on your account.
