Clay is an interesting new addition to the social app space. Founded in 2019, it offers a personal CRM app which functions somewhere between an organizer and a rolodex. The founders refer to their app as a "home for your people" and are setting out to carve out a new space in the market for a more personal system of tracking who you know.
Users can store a list of contacts by connecting their email and calendar with social media apps (like Twitter and LinkedIn). Clay is then able to fill each person's entry with relevant information for any future meeting ranging from when they last communicated through to recent tweets. Users are also able to manually add information to this.
The personal CRM field has become fairly well-populated over recent years. Plum Contacts, Dex, Hippo, and UpHabit are just a few of the startups competing for space. The sector, however, is still developing, so where consumer preference will land remains to be seen. Clay has a considerable funding injection to help it reach its development goals, so it may well prove a competitive player.
