Clay has not made ZoomInfo irrelevant. It has changed where revenue teams decide how, when and whether ZoomInfo data gets used.
Clay is a go-to-market (GTM) development platform that combines data from 130+ providers, workflow automation, and AI research agents into a single spreadsheet-style workspace. Teams use it to enrich records, find contact data through 'waterfall' lookups, research accounts with the Claygent AI agent, and trigger personalized outbound - turning growth ideas into automated systems. Founded in 2017 and based in New York, Clay serves more than 14,000 customers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Canva and Intercom, and raised a $100M Series C in August 2025 at a $3.1B valuation.
