This starts with a story:

In the summer, one founder of a VC-backed startup approached me to manage his LinkedIn profile, through which he acquires clients (personal brand building).

It was a classic job interview, where the assumption is to create a conversion (you are active on someone's account, building their personal brand, as the account grows, people are noticing you, write to you, you arrange a call, and maybe close a sale)

I asked if there was a possibility of getting equity in this position, because the other positions they had advertised (whether tech, GTM, sales, some small percentage of equity) did offer even a small %...

The answer was "No, this position does not include equity."

Today, Clay is becoming Mesh.

It's more than a name change. It's a commitment to a much broader vision.

As the world shifts, relationships have become both harder to maintain and more precious than ever. For the first time, we can actually map, understand, and activate networks at scale  dynamically, intelligently, and in real time.

In a mesh, nothing is truly isolated and nothing valuable is ever lost. That idea sits at the center of everything we're building. Because the future of relationships isn't about managing contacts. It's about understanding the shape of your entire network  and knowing how to move through it, grow it, and shape it.

You'll start to see Mesh roll out across our product, brand, and experiences starting today and over the coming weeks.
