Gong tops USD $500 million ARR as growth accelerates
Thu, 14th May 2026 (Today)
Gong has surpassed USD $500 million in annual recurring revenue, following more than 55% year-on-year growth in its most recent quarter.
The sales technology company described this as its tenth consecutive quarter of accelerating growth. Enterprise adoption has also broadened, with half of the Fortune 10 now among its customers.
Gong is targeting large organisations seeking a single platform for sales data, customer interactions and forecasting tools. Half of its customers now use multiple products, while use of Gong Assistant rose by more than 200% year on year.
The business argues that many sales teams still rely on older customer relationship management systems that depend on staff to record information manually. This leaves companies with incomplete data and less ability to automate routine work or spot risks in the sales pipeline.
Enterprise uptake
Gong cited several large companies as examples of corporate adoption, including ADP, Anthropic, Canva, Cisco, Docusign, Google, Paycor, Uber for Business and Thomson Reuters.
Among the customer results disclosed, Anthropic increased seller productivity by 64% and gave account executives back 10 hours a week. Uber for Business lifted response rates by 32%, Canva recorded a 60% increase in representative capacity, and Paycor reported a 141% increase in deal wins.
It also added more customers worth over USD $1 million in the last two quarters than in the previous six quarters combined. That suggests a stronger push into larger contracts at a time when many software groups are under pressure to show that artificial intelligence spending can deliver measurable returns.
“We launched Gong a decade ago with a bet: AI would be bigger than cloud,” said Amit Bendov, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Gong. “The market wasn't ready, so we toned the message down for years. The last three years have been the unlock. Every company is now investing in AI as a strategic priority, and the vision we had a decade ago is the reality driving this acceleration.”
Customer evidence
One customer highlighted by Gong was Chime, which uses the platform in a regulated financial services environment with long and complex sales cycles.
“Scaling a B2B business in fintech requires strong visibility into your pipeline and how deals are actually progressing since the sales cycle is longer, more regulated, more risk-heavy, and more multithreaded than in other industries,” said Jason Steckler, Head of Revenue Strategy and Operations at Chime. “We saw immediate impact after implementing Gong, with strong productivity gains across our sales team and a much clearer view of what's happening across our deals. We now have the insights to be more proactive in our go-to-market strategy and execute more effectively as we grow, and we're excited to continue scaling our business with Gong as a key part of that growth.”
According to Gong, its system draws on emails, calls, meetings and deal records to create a shared data layer for revenue teams. It uses that information to help teams decide which deals to prioritise, where risks may be emerging and what actions to take next.
The company's growth comes as businesses reassess sprawling software estates and look for fewer tools that cover a broader range of sales tasks. Demand is being driven by board-level pressure for productivity gains from AI, consolidation of sales software, and a shift among large enterprises from limited pilot schemes to production deployments.
Investor view
Battery Ventures investor Dharmesh Thakker linked the company's expansion to its use of proprietary data and how that data is applied to commercial decision-making.
“Recently surpassing $500M in ARR is a testament to how Gong has uniquely combined proprietary data with deep, real-world context on how GTM decisions are actually made,” said Dharmesh Thakker, General Partner at Battery Ventures. “By mastering the intersection of domain expertise and AI model optimization, they deliver the high-impact insights and orchestration necessary for revenue teams to operate at scale. Gong's advantage isn't just the AI, but the data and real-world context underneath it.”
Gong said it serves more than 5,000 companies globally. The latest revenue figure places it among the larger privately held software companies focused on sales and revenue operations.
