Clay is a personal CRM founded in 2019 by Matthew Achariam and Zachary Hamed. It was created to help individuals and teams manage and strengthen professional relationships through a unified and intelligent network platform. Clay integrates with calendars, emails, social platforms, and notes to automatically organize contact data and update user profiles with relevant details, providing users with a real-time, enriched network view.

Headquartered in Union Square, New York, with satellite offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Brussels, and Salem, the company has gained attention for its minimalist design and AI-powered reminders that help users stay in touch and never forget an important connection. Clay emphasizes privacy, data ownership, and an ad-free experience.

As of 2024, Clay has raised $66 million across three funding rounds, including a Series B led by Meritech Capital with participation from Sequoia Capital and other investors. The platform has become a favorite among executives, creatives, and founders looking to build deeper, more intentional networks without the noise of traditional social media.
