Reveal + Crossbeam merger represents a healthy consolidation move in a tough market. It might have made sense in 2021 to have two solutions serving what was and still is fast growing but relatively small market. This merger allows a reorientation away from competition and commoditization toward innovation. I look forward to seeing how the combined entity proceeds from here as it relates to data monetization, automation, and AI assist in partnerships. Proud to have been an angel investor in Reveal's seed round a couple years ago. Congrats to Simon Bouchez, Jared Fuller and team as well as Bob Moore and the go-forward powerhouse. And thank you Phil McKennan for introing me.

def excited to see how AI can assist for workflow automation. def can also see many of these features and data, like you said, provide additional monetization opportunities $$$ -- sometimes consolidation is more valuable than competition, eh?

Crossbeam and Reveal both quickly solved several GTM pain-points around employee productivity, co-selling effectiveness, and cross-organization data sharing. 25,000+ organizations globally adopted one or both applications in the past 5 years. Now as one entity, there is no limit of use-cases or partnership success by having a single data-sharing network. Jake Makler it has been fun to see these companies create a category and grow so quickly!

This is a good move indeed. Consolidation is required in this niche space where vendors were competing for mindshare. The synergies are obvious and I wish both the companies well!
