We're big fans of agentic development @attio and we're also big fans of @googlecloud Spanner!
Previously these two weren't the best of friends as you had to use full Cloud Spanner instances every time you spin up a development environment. We worked with the Google Cloud team to deploy their new Spanner Omni system in our CI/CD environments and the results have been incredible.
We're incredibly proud to be a launch partner for the feature with them as we push the boundaries of software engineering further, together:

Eleven years ago I founded my first startup. One of the first things I did was to get a desk at the startup coworking space at Google Campus in Old Street. Through that community, I met so many of the people who would shape my career and learned so much about what the startup ethos is truly about.
As we have scaled Attio, we've partnered with Google Cloud to build on top of the mind blowing technologies they've created like Spanner, Colossus and Gemini to power a new generation of CRM for our customers.
For all these reasons, Google is deeply woven into my startup journey and that makes today's announcement so special to me.
I'm beyond excited to announce our $52 million Series B, led by @mcbmichael and the @GVteam, along with the continued support of our incredible partners from @Redpoint , @PointNineCap , @balderton and @01Advisors.
We're entering a software renaissance driven by AI and we're unbelievably excited about continuing the hard work of delivering the next generation of CRM. We're building a truly AI-native platform that can run code, integrate anywhere and bring unified context for the next generation of autonomous workflows.
None of this would have been possible without the support of the more than 5,000 customers who have already chosen @attio as the backbone of their GTM stack. Your belief in our vision is what has made this possible and I can't wait to share more about some of the incredible functionality that's still to come.
I'm incredibly grateful for the continued support of @alexbard , @patrickachase, @ric0seq, @wanderingvc and @dickc whose belief in Attio from the earliest days has been so essential to our progress so far and to my co-founder @nicolasosharp, for the many sleepless nights and challenging decisions that got us this far.
We've got so much still to build, and we're always hiring, so if you are interested in being part of reinventing the core of the GTM stack, please take a look at https://t.co/MxCChfDy1s
For now though, it's back to building!
Most call recording tools:
💤 Record everything
🤷♂️ Tell you nothing
🔗 Live in a separate tool (you probably forget to check)
So we took a different approach.
My team just launched Call Intelligence in @attio — real-time AI, natively in your CRM.
Here’s how we built it 🧵
We've just raised $33 million to accelerate our mission: building the definitive CRM for the next generation.
Since launching last year, Attio has seen significant growth. We now count some of the most forward-thinking, high-growth startups as customers and have built one of the most powerful, flexible products in the market.
But to drive real change in this category, you have to be firing on all cylinders.
To capitalize on our momentum and seize the massive opportunity before us, we've strategically raised these additional funds.
This investment is led by our existing partners Redpoint Ventures, Balderton Capital, and Point Nine, along with our new parter 01 Advisors. It will allow us to push even harder on our core vision: reinventing CRM for the next era.
I. Why we decided to raise
CRM isn't just another market. It's one of the most important B2B software categories – an $89 billion behemoth that touches nearly every business. But it's been stuck in the past for too long.
Now the category is at a watershed moment. While many believe this moment started with AI, the truth is that CRM has been bursting at the seams, on the cusp of revolution for years. This is precisely why we founded Attio.
Today's incumbents were built two decades ago, at the dawn of internet era, long before data growth became exponential.
Now, with AI as the final catalyst, everything is set to change. But simply bolting LLMs onto legacy infrastructure won't work. Nor will trying to build workarounds for outdated data models and inflexible architectures.
II. What we're building
CRM needs a ground-up reimagining. This vision drove us to found Attio and it’s why we spent three years building such a strong foundation before our launch last year.
This funding will vastly accelerate our vision of CRM in the AI era, which is built 3 on pillars:
A system of record - Our powerful, AI-native data model is designed to be the modern system of record. It can match any business or data model with custom objects, and it stores information with rich, structured metadata. It's incredibly fast, handling massive workloads with millions of records at sub ~50ms latency. We spent many years painstakingly building this foundation.
A system of context - Attio will automatically ingest and understand your data – both structured and unstructured – capturing the details and aspects of every video call, meeting, email, document, or even data from the web. It’ll present this information in a way that is always relevant and useful to you.
A system of action - A comprehensive platform where you can architect and drive your entire GTM strategy, leveraging AI to anticipate needs, automate complex tasks, and initiate processes across your whole stack without manual effort.
We're not here to make incremental improvements. We're going to redefine CRM, and we'll be shipping plenty of powerful, groundbreaking features—AI-driven and otherwise—along the way.
III. Backed by the best
We’re fortunate enough to be backed by unique, visionary investors who believe in our dream to revolutionize the most important B2B software category.
Alex Bard (Redpoint Ventures), Daniel Waterhouse (Balderton Capital), and Ricardo Sequerra (Point Nine) have all invested again in us.
Dick Costolo (01 Advisors) has also joined this fundraise. His experience as CEO and COO of Twitter, as well as advising world-class companies like Linear, Common Room and Airtable, will be incredibly valuable for us.

We just put 50+ GTM leaders on Nasdaq's board in Times Square. Why?
We're about to witness a seismic shift in CRM – one that even surpasses the cloud revolution of 1999. AI is here, and it's going to change everything.
The category has been on the cusp of revolution for years. At Attio, we've been preparing for this paradigm shift since our founding, with a clear vision for the next generation of CRM.
But great ideas don't exist in a vacuum. CRM is one of the most widely used tools in business, and its future in the AI era will be shaped by many voices.
That's why we reached out to 50+ GTM leaders – the people who are actively building companies and using these tools every day.
We wanted to understand their thoughts on the future of CRM in the AI era, and start a conversation. So we took it to Times Square, where their perspectives will be shared all week.
We've compiled their insights, along with our own vision, into a manifesto for the future of CRM. It's a glimpse into what's possible when AI meets customer relationships. It's what we're building at Attio.
