We Validated 30,000 B2B Leads — 30% Were Fake. Here’s What We Found.
At CapLeads, we’ve always believed that data quality is everything — but this time, we decided to prove it.
When we ran our Consulting Services B2B dataset through NeverBounce, the results were eye-opening. Out of 30,000 total records, nearly 9,000 were invalid — that’s 30% of the data that didn’t pass verification.
What does that mean? It means thousands of businesses are still buying “verified” lists that include fake emails, closed domains, and outdated contacts. Those errors don’t just waste time — they burn money, kill deliverability, and crush campaign ROI.
That’s why at CapLeads, validation isn’t just a feature — it’s our foundation. Every dataset we release goes through:
✅ NeverBounce verification
✅ Manual duplicate checks
✅ Domain and phone validation
✅ Filtering for companies with $5M+ capitalization and C-level decision-makers
We don’t just sell data — we sell trust.
