It serves more than 500,000 companies, 3 million users (with 40,000 paying customers including Qualtrics and Customer.io), and generates half its revenue internationally. The company achieved 9x revenue growth over the past two years since 2021 (described variably as annual recurring revenue growth or revenues grown 900%), becoming one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies and the first sales tech unicorn of 2023. On August 29, 2023, Apollo.io raised $100 million in a Series D funding round led by Bain Capital Ventures, with participation from existing investors Sequoia Capital, Tribe Capital, and Nexus Venture Partners. This brought total funding to approximately $250 million since its Series C in March 2022 and nearly doubled its valuation to a post-money $1.6 billion from $900 million previously. The funding aims to accelerate product development, centralize the go-to-market stack, expand offerings for sales professionals, and grow the team to over 1,000 employees by 2025 amid product-led growth during economic uncertainty. CEO Tim Zheng highlighted unprecedented growth and scaling from startup to scaleup, while Bain Capital Ventures' Merritt Hummer praised the platform's buyer database and automation for redefining B2B sales. Apollo differentiates from competitors like ZoomInfo by offering a full-stack, in-house built solution rather than siloed point solutions from acquisitions, with 60% of funds invested in product development driving rapid user and revenue increases.
