“In just 3 years, Base has landed some of the industry’s biggest brands, including HubSpot, Gainsight, Twilio, Gong, NICE, and SimilarWeb, and helped them transform their marketing organizations into full-blown growth engines with unprecedented impact on customer Lifetime Value, Net Dollar Retention and acquisition.” says Jake Flomenberg, Partner at Wing VC.
Gal Biran, CEO comments from the first industry conference dedicated to CLG – Obsession Summit, powered by Base –: “When rooted deeply within a company’s culture and systems, Customer-led Growth holds the power to change the way B2B leaders define and achieve growth. We 5X’d our ARR in just 12 months, and this round will support our plans to triple our customer base over the next 18 months. A feat we know that only a Customer-led Growth approach can help us accomplish.”
