The importance of behind-the-scenes and my cooking journey Clay's recent $500m valuation is being hailed as a quick success, but it’s a testament to years of hard work and perseverance. While it seems like Clay has burst onto the GTM scene recently, the truth is they started back in 2017. That's nearly a decade of dedication and innovation 😎 This story isn’t unique to Clay. Several other #GTM tech companies that are trending now have been quietly working behind the scenes for years... The path to greatness is often longer and more challenging than it seems - and I always care a lot about behind-the-scenes.
