Invest in Outreach
Outreach enables companies to dramatically increase revenue by helping sales reps and leaders increase their productivity. The company uses AI and the world's largest customer interactions database. Outreach automates contacts by email, voice, and social media.
Unlike traditional CRM systems, Outreach is more than just a customer database – the platform allows you to translate data into marketing strategies. It helps a sales team take the right targeted actions that bring a customer to a purchase.
According to Forrester’s study, Outreach pushed sales productivity up by 11%. Moreover, the company delivers a 5x return on investment, and businesses break even on cost in less than 3 months.
Outreach is the world’s top sales engagement platform with the largest customer base and industry-leading usage. More than 4,800 companies such as Adobe, Tableau, Splunk, DocuSign, and SAP depend on Outreach's products. Outreach is the only sales engagement and intelligence platform to make the Forbes Cloud 100 three times in a row, and also be the 58th fastest-growing vendor in the category on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500.
Over the past year, Outreach has increased to more than 800 employees worldwide, and added two new global offices in London and Prague to its U.S. locations in Seattle and San Francisco.
The CRM market size was valued at $42 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach $96 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 11% from 2020 to 2027.
At the same time, the segment of the sales engagement software in which Outreach operates is considered to be one of the most dynamic and fast-growing in sales technology. In 2017, it was valued at $1.6 billion and is projected to reach nearly $6 billion by 2023. 92% of sales development organizations rank sales engagement platforms as critical to their team’s success.
Outreach’s important advantage has to do with many tech integrations with traditional CRM systems such as Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, SugarCRM, and with email services, various analytics systems, voice services, etc. This allows companies to adapt Outreach for operations with ease, without changing their customary services.
Outreach evolves and releases new products. In 2020, at the Annual Outreach Unleash event, the company announced three innovative solutions:
Kaia – a real-time conversation intelligence tool. This is the most innovative technology in the sales optimization software market;
Outreach Insights – a new AI reporting suite featuring a breakthrough technology that analyzes buyer emotive signals and sentiment;
Outreach Success Plan – a system that allows buyers and sellers to collaborate, creating more transparency around the status of a deal which improves forecasting for sales leaders and teams.
The CRM market is highly competitive. Both major players and new companies are seeking to diversify their offer beyond the usual functionality, such as the storage of customer information.
Traditional players such as Salesforce, Zendesk, ZohoCRM offer more and more tools for marketing campaign analytics, email automation, etc. At the same time, they have more resources for development than smaller players.
Outreach and its competitors (Salesloft, Groove, Gong) are still in the early stages of development. Despite the recognition of the software as the key to the efficient functioning of the sales department, the market is still small.
Outreach was founded in 2014. The company raised almost $500 million in 10 investment rounds. A series G round took place in May 2021. The stock was valued at $29.27 and the company's total valuation was raised to $4.4 billion, three times more than in Series F, the previous round a year ago. The company's stock is currently valued at $33.68 in the secondary market, approximating a valuation of $5 billion.
Salesforce Ventures, Steadfast Capital Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global Management, Lone Pine Capital, Sands Capital, Mayfield Fund, DFJ Growth, Trinity Ventures, and others have invested in the company.
According to Outreach CEO Manny Medina, its business is now revving up, especially as the pandemic shifted more sales processes to digital formats. Its annual recurring revenue hit $100 million in the fall of 2020. Moreover, the company's ARR grew by more than 100% year-over-year in Q1 2021.
Outreach didn’t specify timing for an initial public offering but said one could be in its future as an important event in the company’s cycle. A similar public company ZoomInfo that became public in the fall of 2020 trades with the P/S 42x multiplier.
We expect the annual revenue of the company to be 250-300 million when it goes public in 2022-2023. Thus, the value of Outreach will hit about $10-12 billion.
United Traders analysts are in continuous search for OTC offers studying financial reporting, companies’ businesses, their future plans, analyzing them as potential acquisition targets or estimating prospective multifold capitalization increase as well as considering risks that may hinder business growth. The best ideas are offered to our investors.
As part of our service for purchasing shares on the over-the-counter market (pre-IPO, OTC), for its traders and investors United Traders buys units in funds that own equity stakes in private companies. These funds make early-stage investments in private companies or acquire equity stakes from employees of such companies.
United Traders will have shares at its disposal after the IPO. The shares can be sold after the established 6-month Lock-up period. Alternatively, the shares can be hedged for the above period. Prior to the company going public United Traders look for exit options in the OTC market. If we find a great offer, we sell the shares.
After the Lock-up period is over, the investment in pre-IPO or OTC will be automatically closed, and generated profits are credited to your account less the applicable UT fees. We offer an opportunity for investors with over $100,000 invested in a specific idea to search for a counterpart in the OTC market individually and to take profits before the company goes public and thereby exiting the trade prior to the Lock-up period expiration.
Although it is prohibited to sell shares within the Lock-Up period, our traders find ways to take profits for our investors using various financial instruments: forwards, options, short selling trades, etc.
For an investor the above means that the pre-IPO or OTC investment may be exited after paying a part of its value, usually around 15% which is caused by highly-priced instruments used to close the position. To do so, you should press the respective button in your members area as soon as it becomes active.
The exiting process is similar to making a new investment. You submit a request, we execute it within 1 business day, and your investment is closed at the current exchange price.
ENTRY FEE
3.5% of the share purchase amount. The fee is charged at confirmation of your investment bid.
EXIT FEE
0.5% of the share sell amount after the trade. The fee is charged at the investment exit.
SUCCESS FEE
20% of the profit gain. The fee is charged only if the trade is profitable at the time of exiting.
EARLY EXIT FEE
Usually a 15% fee is charged subject to the actual situation at the exchange. The fee is calculated individually for each investment.
WE ARE A RELIABLE PARTNER
Our risk managers will support you throughout the entire transaction life.
HIGH PROFITABILITY
Venture investing is very risky as they involve new or growing companies, and multifold increase in capitalization is expected. We prioritize companies at the pre-IPO stage as they already demonstrate strong financial indicators and plan to go public soon. This approach allows limiting hyper-risks related to insolvency of new companies and substantially increasing profits as compared to investors who buy shares through a subscription just before the IPO.
LOW ENTRY THRESHOLD
To buy the OTC stocks, one would need millions of dollars. We gathered a pool of traders and investors allowing everyone interested to join similar transactions with as much as $10.
United Traders is experienced in minimizing risks but a future investor should be aware of all risk types:
- Illiquidity. There is a possibility that early exit from this investment will take more than 1 month.
- Asymmetric information. Management and current investors have access to more internal information about the company than other market participants.
- Time uncertainty. There is no information regarding next financing round or exit strategy timeframe (IPO or M&A).
- Share dilution. The issue of additional shares by a company may reduce the value of shares of existing investors.
