One of the hardest aspects of startup life is the long wait for liquidity. Employees often have to wait years—sometimes over a decade—before they can benefit from the effort and craft they’ve put into a company.
At Clay, we want our team to be able to use their equity on their own timeline: whether that means starting a creative side project, buying a home, or just having financial freedom. That's why we recently launched an employee tender offer, where our team can sell some of their vested shares for immediate liquidity.
Our customer base continues to expand rapidly, with businesses of all sizes embracing Clay to transform the way they go to market. The tender offer is an investment in our team and long-term success, recognizing that our people are the driving force behind the value we create and deserve to be compensated flexibly.
The growth fueling our future
The numbers behind our conviction speak for themselves.
- We 10x’d revenue in both 2022 and 2023, and we 6x’d revenue in 2024. We’ve already significantly grown revenue in Q1 of 2025. We have never needed cash less, and we’ve never seen more interest from investors wanting to double down.
- Our AI agent, Claygent, is the market’s dominant GTM agent, with almost 1 billion lifetime runs
- We now serve more than 8,000 customers including OpenAI, Hubspot, Canva, and more
- We have 130+ integrations with world class data partners to provide customers with any kind of enrichment data
- We have 135 agency partners building revenue operations and outbound businesses on top of Clay, and 50+ Clay Clubs operating globally to help members upskill, from Manila to Warsaw
Beyond the metrics, we are changing how businesses grow. Before Clay, GTM teams spent painfully long amounts of time finding quality data and deploying it into workflows. Sales reps wasted a large chunk of their day on manual prospecting and busywork, not selling.
Clay introduces a single GTM development environment where teams can easily turn any creative growth idea into reality. One person can run an entire company’s prospecting (finding & enriching companies and people), sales enablement (automated meeting notes, Google slides, emails, landing pages), and CRM enrichment — freeing up sellers to focus on actual conversations.
Teams are using our data providers and AI agents to find unique data and immediately deploy it in unique plays. Intercom, for example, uses AI to judge the breadth of a company's support documentation as a basis for scoring leads, and Verkada auto-generates thousands of personalized landing pages for prospects.
How the tender offer works
This tender offer, valued at $1.5 billion—up from the valuation of our last raise at $1.25B that we announced in January—is available to any employees with vested shares, as well as former team members who hold Clay stock. Sequoia Capital, which has been our partner since the Series A, has agreed to purchase the first $20 million in employee stock, and we’ll also participate in the round.
We’ve always done things a little differently at Clay. We’re proud to be able to offer our employees liquidity and further incentivize the team as we embark on this next phase of growth.
