Mid-Market Organization Intelligence
Mid-market companies occupy a strategic position in the business landscape, having
outgrown startup constraints while maintaining agility that larger enterprises often
lack. These organizations typically employ 100 to 999 people and generate revenues
between $10 million and $1 billion annually. They represent a compelling segment for
B2B sales—substantial enough to afford meaningful purchases while accessible through
more streamlined sales processes than enterprise accounts.
Our database identifies mid-market companies through employment data, revenue signals,
and organizational complexity indicators. Understanding which companies operate at this
scale enables precise targeting for vendors whose solutions match mid-market needs and
budgets. Combined with industry vertical,
funding status, and
growth signals, mid-market identification
powers sophisticated go-to-market strategies.
Mid-Market Company Characteristics
Mid-market organizations share characteristics that differentiate them from both smaller
businesses and large enterprises. These companies have typically professionalized key
functions—dedicated sales, marketing, finance, and operations teams replace the
generalist approach of smaller businesses. However, they retain flexibility and
decision-making speed that large enterprises sacrifice to governance processes.
Technology purchasing in mid-market companies follows distinctive patterns. Decision
cycles typically span 1-6 months, longer than small business but faster than enterprise.
Evaluation involves functional leaders with budget authority and often executive
approval for larger purchases. Security and compliance requirements exist but rarely
match enterprise rigor. Combining mid-market identification with business model
and security posture analysis helps
vendors understand specific account requirements and sales approach.

company context through comprehensive data enables effective positioning and
relationship development.
