Really proud to partner with the team at Clay. Congrats again to Kareem Amin, Varun Anand, and the team on such incredible traction and amazing fundraising story. There are some things that make them a standout in our minds:   1. Founder-led focus and ownership from two amazing founders, Kareem + Varun 2. Clarity on who it’s for and what it does 3. Focused on delivering one place for all things GTM data vs. sprawling your stack of data providers 4. The rise of the “GTM Engineer” deliver value first, focus on making people love Clay — few companies we work with prioritize the customer obsession-factor more than they do. It’s their true “win the customer at all costs” North Star 5. Build an incredible community — how often do you see non-employees of Clay posting on LI? It’s INSANE!! (Prioritizing customer love allows for this) 6. Build an incredible reputation to focus on value-based efforts for people to justify more adoption of Clay (look at the logos on their website — you must show true value to acquire those types of businesses, especially at their stage) These guys are just getting started!!

We've never shared our fundraising before. But today, I'm thrilled to announce that Clay has raised $62m in total funding, across our pre-seed (led by Box Group), seed (led by First Round), Series A (led by Sequoia) and most recently — our Series B (led by Meritech) at a $500M valuation. I'm proud of what we have built to date, but it’s largely due to our team and community. We've grown revenue 10x each of the past two years, and Clay has quickly become the default growth engine for the world's most innovative teams, including Anthropic, Intercom, Notion and Vanta. An entire ecosystem has emerged as well, with Clay experts starting bootcamps, newsletters and Claygencies (some making more than $2m/yr!) to service the demand. We're building the creative platform to help GTM teams turn any growth idea into reality instantly. But we're also crafting a unique culture.  Our team includes some of the world’s most talented engineers, ex-founders, and operators, but we don’t just write code — we make music, perform DJ sets, write poetry, make pottery (of course), and so much more. This is a special company at an inflection moment. Come join us — we're hiring across every function. Now, a big thank you to our partners who've supported us in this journey. Thank you to David, Gregory and Adam from Box Group for their early support, Josh Kopelman and Brett Berson from First Round Capital for always providing introductions, advice and optimism at a moment's notice, our board member Mike Vernal for his unwavering and consistent advocacy on our behalf, and Alfred Lin + Pat Grady from Sequoia Capital for their help as we scale, and finally Alex Kurland from Meritech Capital for his conviction in us and enthusiasm for the journey ahead. Many thanks as well to the many other angels and investors who've helped us succeed: Notation Capital (Nicholas Chirls), Maple VC (Andre Charoo), HubSpot Ventures (Brandon Greer, Nate Morgan), 20SALES (Maggie Hott, Stevie Case), 20GROWTH (Sri Batchu, Darius Contractor), Oliver J.

Remember when how much money a startup raised was a measure of success? I can’t help but think back to the dot-com bubble (I was a kid back then) when people were throwing these huge, lavish parties - and back then THAT was a measure of success. So screw that. For my new startup (to be announced soon), I’m measuring: 1) how much personal freedom I have 2) second priority: how much profit the company is making from happy customers That’s it. No bullshit fundraising rounds. No fancy shmancy VCs. Freedom + profits from happy customers. Donezo. * photo generated by my AI intern, John, using DALL-E
