August 17, 2021

Palo Alto, August 17, 2021 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Gong, the revenue intelligence platform leveraging artificial intelligence to transform revenue and customer-facing teams, is No. 99 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“Making the Inc. 5000 list – and ranking in the top two percent of companies surveyed this year – is a great accomplishment,” said Amit Bendov, CEO of Gong. “Gong’s revenue growth is concrete evidence of the high demand for revenue intelligence in general and the superior solution Gong provides. More than 2,000 customers worldwide rely on Gong’s platform because it delivers measurable impact across the entire organization.”

Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s unprecedented challenges. Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million. Together, those companies added more than 610,000 jobs over the past three years.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc., which will be available on newsstands on August 20.

“The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we’ve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people.”

Today’s news comes just a week after Gong was named to the Forbes Cloud 100 list, the definitive ranking of the world’s top 100 private cloud companies. This is the second straight year Gong was named to the Cloud 100 list.

The company’s continued growth underscores how enterprises are investing in AI to improve revenue performance, unify customer data, and drive more consistent execution across their go-to-market teams. “I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Gong’s customers for years, and I’m continually inspired by how they’re embracing AI to go to market in ways that simply weren't possible before,” said Simon Frey, Chief Customer Officer at Gong. “Right now, we’re seeing an unprecedented level of innovation with agentic AI, but many teams are still struggling to turn early experimentation into real business impact. As Gong scales, our focus is on helping customers operationalize Gong and the Revenue AI OS to drive measurable outcomes.” “As part of Procore’s growth trajectory, we are laser-focused on maximizing sales productivity and accelerating outcomes across the board,” said Pradeep Konduru, Vice President of GTM Strategy at Procore. “Gong is a key partner in helping our teams drive revenue execution at scale, providing the AI-driven insights needed to win more effectively.

Gong Launches Mission Andromeda, Expanding Its Revenue AI OS to Enablement and Account Management

Introducing Gong Enable: Native AI capabilities designed to unify coaching and training across the entire revenue stack SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — February 25, 2026 — Gong, the leading revenue AI company, today announced Mission Andromeda, a product launch that delivers greater guidance and efficiency around how revenue teams turn customer conversations into repeatable actions across teams. The launch introduces Gong Enable, an AI-powered revenue enablement solution, along with new capabilities for conversational guidance, unified account management, and secure AI interoperability. Mission Andromeda marks the first launch in Gong’s new, more structured product launch cadence. Since its founding, Gong has evolved its platform with new capabilities, with recent updates extending across more areas of the revenue workflow. Under this new approach, Gong is introducing named, galactic-inspired launches that bring multiple capabilities together across the revenue AI OS, helping customers see how innovations fit together and how to implement them across their organizations for revenue success. “Revenue teams have more insights than ever before, but applying those to drive outcomes remains a challenge,” said Eilon Reshef, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder, Gong. “With Mission Andromeda, we’re extending revenue AI into more of the daily decisions teams make, from in-the-moment guidance to account management and coaching, so they can apply what works more broadly and at scale.” Gong Enable: Scale Winning Revenue Behaviors Enablement teams face growing demands with limited capacity. According to Gartner Inc., 65% of CSOs and senior sales leaders say their enablement function is stretched thin, while frontline managers spend just 9% of their time coaching. As a result, organizations often rely on intuition to identify skill gaps and measure success through course completion rates rather than true performance improvement. Gong Enable is designed to close this proficiency gap by integrating enablement into everyday revenue workflows and using real customer conversations to drive measurable performance improvement without adding manager overhead. “Morningstar operates revenue teams across products and global markets, so consistency matters,” said Rae Cheney, Director of Sales Enablement Technology at Morningstar. “Gong Enable lets us turn real customer conversations into practical coaching and tighter deal execution. It’s helped us spend less time on status updates and more time on the work that actually moves deals, making it easier to scale what ‘good’ looks like across teams.” With Gong Enable, revenue teams can now: Identify skill gaps dynamically with AI Call Reviewer, which analyzes live customer interactions to surface individual and team-level coaching opportunities based on real behavior, enabling earlier and more targeted intervention through structured, role-specific learning programs called Lessons. Practice high-stakes conversations at scale with AI Trainer, which allows reps to rehearse scenarios such as pricing objections or renewal risk using AI-generated simulations informed by successful conversations across the organization, delivering instant feedback without additional manager overhead. Connect training to business outcomes with Initiative Tracking, which links enablement programs directly to revenue metrics, allowing leaders to see whether new behaviors are showing up in live deals and impacting outcomes like win rates, deal size, and ramp time. Extending AI Across Revenue Workflows Since its founding, Gong has applied AI to help revenue teams understand customer conversations. Mission Andromeda extends that intelligence into more day-to-day revenue work, including how teams ask questions, manage accounts, and act on insights across systems. In addition to Gong Enable, Mission Andromeda includes: Gong Assistant: A conversational AI experience that allows revenue teams to ask questions about customer calls directly within Gong and receive trusted, context-aware answers grounded in real conversations. Future updates will expand support across deals, accounts, and execution workflows. Account Console and Account Boards: Unified views that bring AI insights - such as customer activity, risk signals, and recommended next steps - into one place, helping sales and post-sales teams identify renewal risk and expansion opportunities earlier and work together more effectively. Gong support for Model Context Protocol (MCP): Built-in client and server support for MCP, enabling organizations to connect Gong with other AI systems while maintaining clear controls over data access, usage, and provenance.
