On December 8, 2025, Clay announced in a company blog post that it had crossed $100 million in annual recurring revenue that week. The company says it grew from $1 million to $100 million ARR over the previous two years, after spending its first six years exploring ideas and finding the right product to build. Clay reports that it has never churned an enterprise customer and that its enterprise net revenue retention is over 200%. The post says Clay started as a no-code spreadsheet and found its main market with GTM teams, and describes the company as an eight-year overnight success.
