Clay

AI-powered data enrichment and personalized outreach at scale

FreemiumFree TierAdded Jan 1, 2023

About

Clay is a data enrichment and outreach platform that lets sales teams pull contact and company data from 100+ providers (Clearbit, Apollo, LinkedIn, etc.) through a single interface. It uses a waterfall enrichment approach — querying multiple data sources in sequence to maximize coverage. Clay's AI agent writes personalized messages using the enriched data, making each outreach feel hand-crafted at scale. The spreadsheet-like interface makes building complex enrichment workflows intuitive. It's become the go-to tool for RevOps teams building sophisticated outbound systems.

Origin Story

By Kareem Amin

The Problem

No single data provider has complete coverage. Sales teams need to query multiple sources, but doing that manually is impractical.

Building It

Founded 2017, pivoted to sales data enrichment. Raised $62M. Became the RevOps community's favorite tool.

What It Means

Proved that waterfall enrichment across 100+ sources beats any single data provider.

The Dream

Make every outreach message feel personally researched at the scale of thousands per day.
