Clays GTM, reverse-engineered
Why is Clay growing so fast?
Uppdaterad: · gtm-rx-v1
Clay is scaling rapidly by aligning a self-serve product with a credit-based pricing model. Users begin with free data enrichment tasks and naturally consume more credits as their outbound campaigns expand. This expansion is backed by continuous funding and an observed 109 percent headcount increase over 12 months.
