Today I’m incredibly excited to announce Unify’s $12M Series A led by Emergence and Thrive with participation from OpenAI. We started Unify 631 days ago with the mission to be the best platform for revenue teams to power creative, thoughtful and delightful interactions with their customers. Our core thesis is that the way revenue teams interact with data is broken. Rich data valuable for revenue teams exists in many silos today and while the modern data stack promised to break down these silos, few teams are succeeding. Our data graph is the brain for AI to make human-quality decisions on top of. We’ve quickly grown to 7-figures of annualized revenue, and have grown revenue 39x year-over-year. A special thank you to some of our early customers… Giancarlo and Makalie at OpenPhone Max at Abacum Amar at Hypercomply Dennis at Guru Peter at Justworks Marty at Pylon Han at Mintlify -- Thank you to our Seed investors who doubled down on us… Jake and Yazan from Emergence Vince and Avery from Thrive Ian from OpenAI And welcome to new investors who joined us at the Series A… Ali and Suzanne from Neo Ramtin Alex and Andrei from Abstract Jack from AltCap Stevie Jessica Kim Kelly Maggie Liat Renu and Lauren from 20Sales -- Our progress made in less than 2 years is only made possible by the dedication and hard work of our team… Engineering Product and Design - Sam Solomon Hyewon Devin Fabian Noah Mitchell Nathan Business - Skyler Garrett Tameem Rhea Shravya Haley Neema Josh Anthony Gwen And last but not least my Co-Founder Connor. We’re hiring across engineering and sales, we’d love to hear from you if you’re looking for your next role.

The first time I met Max-Alexander Borreck, it was Sunday afternoon. I had heard through the awesome Daniel Schulte-Hillen the previous day that one of his portfolio companies was killing it, but it was a little weird and non-obvious. Perfect, right up my street. Max (ZeKju Co-founder) jumped on a Zoom call with me and apologised for being 2 mins late as he had just driven 3 hours, in the snow, on a Sunday, back from a warehouse in some random town in northern German town. He had spent the previous night and the early morning in a warehouse speaking to a dozen road freight drivers that they had recently on-boarded to the ZeKju platform. Him and his co-founder Dr. Hendrik Rosenboom did this EVERY weekend... Doing things that don't scale. Looking at unloved industries with first principle thinking! Leading their Seed round was a no-brainer for 20VC ?? ?? Blue chip customers with multi-year 6 figure ARR deals ?? Huge market (6m+ road freight drivers in EU alone) ?? Relentlessly pursuing their mission to re-invent comms for supply chain and logistics And we surrounded our lead check with some absolute ballers - 20SALES, 20Growth, Des Traynor, Pat Cummins, Mario G?tze, Nico Rosberg and many more. Hear more from Adam Fishman (20Growth / Mozilla), Kelly Bray (20SALES / Vanta) and myself ?? Harry Stebbings, Paul Bonnet #funding #Germanrockstars

Today is a moment to share a HUGE thanks to our entire Clay community ?? Your support over the last few years has helped us build a special product all about helping businesses grow. We just announced our $62M in total funding at a $500M valuation with Bloomberg. This includes our pre-seed led by BoxGroup, our seed led by First Round Capital, our Series A led by Sequoia Capital, and our Series B led by Meritech Capital. This milestone is a testament to your support. We see you championing us in comments, inventing new use cases, and helping each other in Slack. You’ve shared countless tables, tutorials, and memes about Clay — we wouldn’t be here without you and we’re so grateful. Our mission is to help GTM teams turn their growth ideas into reality by improving their customer research, so they can send relevant outreach to the right people. We’re excited to use this funding to continue to improve Clay, serve even more use cases, and grow our community of GTM practitioners. Thanks to your feedback, we’re building powerful new features that will help you do better customer research and run successful campaigns. It’s been a wild ride: We’ve 10x-ed YoY for each of the past two years, powered growth for tech’s biggest names like Anthropic, Intercom, Notion, and 2,500+ others, and expanded our team?to fifty of the world’s best engineers, designers, and thinkers. And we’re just getting started! Read more in our announcement post (link in comments). We can’t wait to build more together!
