Clay raised $115 million after investors more than doubled its valuation
Sales automation company Clay raised $115 million in a Series D led by Wellington at a $7.1 billion valuation. Reuters reports that Clay was valued at $3.1 billion after a $100 million round in August 2025. The company says more than 17,000 customers now use its data and AI tools, including Google, Anthropic and OpenAI. Clay is building agents that find prospects, research businesses, prepare sales materials and set up outreach. It also announced a $1 million fund to train people for sales-automation roles.

Clay provided the valuation and customer count in its financing announcement. The company did not report current revenue, customer retention or how much work its agents finish without human corrections. Investors accepted a higher price for the company. That does not show whether Clay's agents increase revenue, respect contact preferences or avoid unwanted messages at scale.
Revenue and retention would show whether Clay's 17,000 customers rely on the product or are still testing it. Product reports should count wrong contact data, unwanted outreach and agent actions that people reverse. The next financing or a public filing should show whether revenue supports the $7.1 billion valuation.
