About

Welcome to Clay

We build creative tools for growth teams.

We make creative tools to help people grow their businesses.

We help teams get the best data foundation possible to reach their best-fit customers.

We care about helping people grow businesses: whether taking a solo dream to a small team or scaling a mature enterprise company.

Growing a business means finding and reaching customers who need your product. That requires deep research which, historically, demanded huge investments in tooling, money, and manual labor.

We help combine 1st-party data, intent data, and 3rd party data from 100+ external enrichment in one place for people to do deep customer research.

With Clay, a single person can run growth campaigns that previously required coordinating the entire GTM team. This means companies can send fewer, better messages—and only to people who are a good mutual fit. Sales representatives can focus on nurturing customer relationships and closing deals.
