About Clari
Clari is a revenue operations software company founded in 2012 by Andy Byrne, Venkat Rangan, and others, and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. The company builds software designed to give sales organizations visibility into pipeline health, forecast accuracy, and deal progression across enterprise revenue teams.
Clari's core platform includes modules for sales forecasting, pipeline inspection, conversation intelligence, and revenue collaboration. Its products are used by sales leaders, operations teams, and executives at companies including Okta, Adobe, and Workday to track and manage revenue processes. The company positions its offering as a Revenue Orchestration Platform, consolidating data from CRM systems, email, and call activity to surface deal risk and forecast signals.
Clari raised a $150 million Series E round in 2021 at a reported valuation of approximately $1.6 billion, bringing its total funding to around $485 million from investors including Sequoia Capital, Bain Capital Ventures, and Sapphire Ventures. In 2022, the company acquired Groove, a sales engagement platform, to expand its product surface area. As of recent reports, Clari employs over 1,000 people.

Competitive Landscape
Who Clari competes with, and how they differ.
Gong built its conversation-intelligence engine natively rather than through acquisition (Clari's came via the 2022 Wingman deal) and competes directly with Clari for the same revenue-intelligence and forecasting budget.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Outreach is sales-engagement-first (sequencing, dialer) and has pushed into forecasting and deal intelligence, overlapping with the sales-engagement ground Clari entered via its 2023 acquisition of Groove.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedAviso markets itself explicitly as an AI-native alternative to Clari, emphasizing a proprietary time-series forecasting engine and natively-built conversation intelligence rather than Clari's acquired stack.
Terret, rebranded from BoostUp.ai in September 2025, is a forecasting-first revenue intelligence platform aimed at the same enterprise RevOps buyer as Clari, competing on multi-dimensional forecast modeling and AI revenue agents.
