About Clay
AI is unleashing the biggest wave of company creation in history.
Clay's mission is to be the engine those companies use to grow to their full potential.
Clay predicts the next best action for your business and then helps you take it.
We started by aggregating the best data for B2B companies.
Then, we built the infrastructure to run any personalized campaign on top of it, including emails, ads, landing pages, and workflows that make reps more productive.
Now, we're building agents that can help grow your company for you.
We're already helping thousands of customers — including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Visa — go to market with unique data, signals, and AI research.
In 2026, we raised a $115M Series D at $7.1B Valuation led by Wellington — and are on track to cross $200M in revenue this quarter.
We also launched a $1M Scholarship fund for GTME Education.
