Gong Raises $200 Million in Series D Funding at $2.2 Billion Valuation

August 12, 2020

SAN FRANCISCO – August 12, 2020 – Gong, the revenue intelligence platform leveraging artificial intelligence to transform revenue teams, today announced it raised $200 million in a Series D funding bringing the company’s valuation to $2.2 billion. The new investment follows Gong’s $65 million Series C funding announced in December 2019.

The latest funding was led by Coatue and joined by Index Ventures, Salesforce Ventures and Thrive Capital, with participation from existing investors Battery Ventures, NextWorld Capital, Norwest Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital and Wing Venture Capital. Gong’s total funding raised is now $334 million.

The investment comes on the heels of 2.5X revenue growth year-to-date in 2020 and reflects strong demand for Gong’s Revenue Intelligence Platform due to working from home and the heightened importance of remote selling. Gong’s innovation mindset has powered the company’s rapid growth, enabling it to quickly surpass competitors and take a commanding lead of the revenue intelligence market.

Gong’s software helps companies make better decisions that are based on reality, not opinions. It automatically captures the full range of a company’s interactions with customers – via emails, web conference calls, phone calls, and more – reducing the risk of incomplete or data. Gong then uses patented AI technology to understand what exactly is being said in these customer interactions. It helps companies uncover patterns and trends in the data, leading to insights that can help increase sales, reduce churn, and increase market share. With a customer base five times larger than its nearest competitor, Gong’s underlying AI has a commanding advantage to learn and adapt to rapidly changing trends and provide more thoughtful recommendations that drive superior business outcomes.

“Revenue intelligence is an exciting category in sales technology,” said Alex Kayyal, Partner at Salesforce Ventures. “We were impressed with Gong’s strong market traction and the resounding enthusiasm expressed by their customers.”

Co-founded by Amit Bendov, CEO, and Eilon Reshef, Chief Product Officer, Gong has been on a hyper-growth trajectory. Company achievements to date include:

A rapidly-expanding customer base, currently over 1,100, including such names as Autodesk, Hubspot, LinkedIn, MuleSoft, Outreach, PayPal, Shopify, Slack, Twilio, Zillow, and Zoominfo
Over 64,000 sales and support professionals using the platform
Earning an industry-leading Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 72
The recently launched Deal Intelligence module, providing sales professionals with unprecedented deal pipeline visibility and alerts on deals requiring intervention

“We made a bold prediction in 2016 that Gong’s technology would become the most significant innovation for sales since the invention of CRM,” said Gong CEO and Co-founder, Amit Bendov. “The market has proven that prediction was correct. With global sales teams switching to remote work and field sales teams grounded for the foreseeable future, we are seeing substantial demand for Gong’s solution even in a challenging business environment. There is a new way to win in sales and the best sales teams are turning to Gong’s Revenue Intelligence Platform to guide them down that path.”

Gong will use the new funding to fulfill strong market demand for its Revenue Intelligence Platform, reinforce its market leadership, and invest in its product, engineering and go-to-market teams.

Gong Appoints Simon Frey as Chief Customer Officer as Global Customer Base Surpasses 5,000

Frey will drive measurable AI impact for the growing list of enterprises using the Gong Revenue AI Operating System SAN FRANCISCO, CA – March 4, 2026 – Gong, the leading revenue AI company, today announced the appointment of Simon Frey as Chief Customer Officer as its global customer base surpassed 5,000 organizations – marking a significant milestone in the company’s continued growth. Frey, who previously served as Senior Vice President of Customer Outcomes, will lead Gong's global customer strategy as the company scales its platform and services to meet strong demand. 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. We’re continuing to see a meaningful impact and look forward to continuing the partnership as Gong expands its support for customer success through the new Customer Office.” As part of this leadership expansion, Gong is launching a unified Customer Office – a strategic integration of its pre-sales and post-sales motions to ensure total alignment between the vision sold, and the value realized throughout the customer journey. This evolution addresses a critical market shift: enterprises no longer require just software tools, but rather a dedicated partner to provide the advisory, activation, and advocacy needed to embed predictive intelligence into their daily operating rhythms. To support this expansion, Gong has scaled its Services and Consulting ecosystem fivefold – leveraging both in-house experts and global systems integrators (GSIs), and introduced a specialized Revenue Architects team to serve as strategic partners in AI transformation. “Simon has spent years partnering closely with our customers, helping them unlock meaningful growth across their revenue organizations,” said Shane Evans, Chief Revenue Architect at Gong. “What we have realized is that simply layering AI on top of old workflows isn't enough. Organizations are looking for a foundational system that improves productivity and drives sustainable growth at scale. With Simon at the helm of our Customer Office and our new team of Revenue Architects, we are uniquely positioned to design and deliver measurable AI success outcomes for our customers.” Together, these milestones reinforce Gong’s commitment to setting the standard for modern AI-driven revenue architecture – and redefine the customer experience, providing the blueprints and technical sophistication necessary for enterprises to win in an AI-first economy. ### About Gong Gong harnesses the power of AI to transform how revenue teams win.
