Gong是一家利用AI预测销售收入的初创公司,其年度经常性收入(ARR)已超过3亿美元。自2016年成立以来,Gong通过AI分析客户互动,近年来生成式AI能力的加入进一步推动了公司增长。目前,Gong拥有Canva、Google、LinkedIn和Square等4500家企业客户。按照目前的ARR和增长轨迹,Gong很可能走向IPO,但公司CEO表示2025年暂无计划。即使不进行IPO,Gong也暂无融资计划,因为公司接近盈利,且2021年融资的资金仍然充足。

📈Gong公司ARR突破3亿美元大关,标志着其在AI驱动销售预测领域的显著成功。该公司自2016年成立以来,一直致力于利用AI技术分析客户互动,从而帮助企业预测潜在销售收入。

🤖生成式AI的加持是Gong公司近年来实现快速增长的关键因素。通过集成先进的AI能力,Gong能够更深入地理解客户需求,并为销售团队提供更精准的洞察。

💰Gong公司目前的估值约为72.5亿美元,这意味着其估值大约是ARR的24倍,与一些增长最快、最受关注的AI初创公司处于同一水平。这反映了市场对Gong公司未来发展潜力的认可。

🚀Gong公司的发展轨迹暗示着其未来可能进行IPO。虽然公司CEO表示2025年暂无计划,但上市仍然是公司发展的重要里程碑。此外,Gong公司目前接近盈利,资金充足,短期内没有新的融资需求。

Gong, a startup that helps companies predict their revenue from potential sales, has surpassed $300 million in annualized recurring revenue, the company announced on Wednesday.

Since its founding in 2016, Gong has used AI to analyze customer interactions. The addition of generative AI capabilities in recent years has helped to fuel the company’s growth.

“We’re seeing great momentum. That’s why we’re excited to share the numbers,” Gong CEO Amit Bendov told TechCrunch.

Gong was last valued at $7.25 billion when it raised a $250 million Series E in 2021 in a deal led by Franklin Templeton with participation from Coatue, Salesforce Ventures, Sequoia, Thrive Capital, and Tiger Global.

Many companies funded in 2020 and 2021 received inflated valuations relative to their revenue and have since struggled to justify them.

Assuming that Gong is still valued at $7.25 billion, the latest ARR figure implies that the company is now valued at roughly 24 times ARR and puts Gong in the same bucket as some of the fastest, most watched AI startups.

For instance, Anysphere, the maker of the AI-powered coding assistant Cursor, was recently valued at 25 times ARR. Anysphere reached $100M in ARR from low-single millions in less than a year.

Although Bendov didn’t share Gong’s revenue growth, he said it’s in the range of “top-quartile public SaaS companies.” (The Bessemer Ventures Cloud Index indicates that top cloud companies have annual revenue growth rates between 25% and 56%.) It counts among its 4,500 corporate customers companies like Canva, Google, LinkedIn and Square, Bendov said.

Gong’s current ARR and growth trajectory likely puts the company on the path to IPO, and Bendov admitted that a public offering would be an important milestone but said it’s not in the works for 2025.

If not an IPO, as for raising another round from venture sources, Bendov said that Gong is nearly profitable and still has plenty of cash from its 2021 round. “We almost haven’t touched it.”
