There is a historic shift to digital-first occurring across all industries, yet businesses don’t have a system to manage digital growth. Amplitude’s vision is to become the operating system for every digital business, arming growth leaders and the C-suite with the insights to answer the strategic question, “where do we place our digital bets to maximize revenue?” Digital businesses across all vertical sectors are placing their bets on Amplitude, including two of the top five auto manufacturers, three of the top five telecommunications companies, two of the top five retailers, three of the top five entertainment/media companies, four of the leading financial services companies and four of the most successful digital-first IPOs of 2020.

“Amplitude has an opportunity to build a billion-dollar business amidst the next chapter of massive transformation: the shift to digital revenue,” said Spenser Skates, co-Founder and CEO of Amplitude. “In this digital era, it’s critical that every digital business has an operating system to understand what product bets drive revenue. Amplitude was built from the ground up to deliver the digital revenue insights that legacy marketing analytics and business intelligence tools struggle to unlock. Our performance in 2020 validates the massive opportunity. Amplitude has the right product and the right team at the right time, as we look to bring new innovations to market and aggressively scale the business through an IPO and beyond.”

In 2020 Amplitude bolstered its executive leadership team with the addition of seasoned go-to-market and market creation leader Jennifer Johnson as Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer, formerly Chief Marketing Officer at Tenable (Nasdaq: TENB). The company also added Confluent’s Erica Schultz, an accomplished go-to-market leader in enterprise technology with over 25 years of experience building and scaling companies through hyper-growth, transformation, and IPO, to its board.

The company has raised $186 million from leading venture capital firms Sequoia Capital, Benchmark, Battery Ventures, IVP and others which will continue to help the company scale to capitalize on the explosive shift to digital-first, and fuel further global business expansion as every organization, everywhere, seeks to better understand their digital customers.

“In 2020, virtually every company realized they have to win on digital or risk irrelevance,” said Eric Vishria, General Partner at Benchmark. “The most innovative leaders from entertainment to financial services have partnered with Amplitude to make their digital products the best for their customers. To sustain this level of growth with virtually no cash burn and absolute best-in-class ARR/headcount is an incredible testament to Amplitude’s business fundamentals. The future is bright for Amplitude in 2021 and beyond as even more enterprises discover the enormous competitive advantage Amplitude gives them.”
