Breakthrough recognition as “revenue tech stack essential” in 2020 helped company reach new milestones in revenue, new customers and category leadership
SANTA CLARA, Calif., January 29, 2021 — LeanData, the leader in go-to-market operations solutions powering the modern revenue engine, today announced 2020 as the company’s eighth-consecutive year of record revenue and customer adoption, as well as unprecedented industry recognition for market leadership and customer success. The company also closed the year with a record 650+ customers.
“While this past year tested the mettle of B2B companies, it also spotlighted the mission-critical role LeanData plays in the revenue tech stack,” said Evan Liang, CEO of LeanData. “Our team worked closely with many of our customers during the COVID-19 crisis, and we were proud to be a strategic partner supporting their go-to-market agility and growth during this challenging time. We’re proud of the validation from market analysts and users alike that LeanData is the clear leader in our fast-emerging category, and look forward to working with our customers to partner in their success in 2021.”
Key business highlights from 2020:
- Signed record new business. Underscoring the mission-critical role LeanData plays in the B2B revenue process, a record number of companies adopted LeanData in 2020.
