Clay just raised a Series C at a $3 billion valuation. CapitalG led the round, according to three sources. Clay and CapitalG declined to comment.
This comes a month after Clay let most employees sell shares at a $1.5 billion valuation in a secondary tender offer. That deal was led by Sequoia, which bought up to $20 million in employee stock.
Employees who sold at $1.5 billion might get another chance. Clay CEO Kareem Amin said in May he aims to run tender offers yearly. 
Clay launched in 2017 but found its footing after pivoting to AI-powered sales automation. It helps sales and marketing pros uncover data and automate outreach. Users can build and update prospect lists and craft personalized emails.
