Our take
Apollo's sales intelligence and engagement platform integrates with companies’ existing internal tools, such as LinkedIn, Salesforce and Hubspot, to increase and optimize sales and marketing leads. Rather than simply employing a volume-heavy approach to leads, Apollo’s software allows users to focus on more convertible prospects, while automating task management and workflow.
The company launched in 2015 and grew steadily in its early years, but the period since 2021 has seen it enter a rapid scale up. Now its customer base includes the likes of Autodesk, Stripe, Docusign and Yelp.
Apollo now intends to keep the upward momentum going, having secured major funding in mid-2023 and is also investing heavily in India as its R&D center, where there’s a burgeoning pool of tech talent. In early 2023, Apollo reported record revenue numbers and appointed a new CPO, indicating a solidification of these aims.

- Be Customer Obsessed - We are obsessed with how to make our customers successful. Every decision we make should be in service of our customer’s success, as their success comes hand-in-hand with ours.
- Speak and Act Courageously - We aren’t afraid to fail; we are more afraid not to try. We admire team members who take calculated risks and experiment. We aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo.
- Take Ownership - We acknowledge that this is OUR company. Nothing is ever “someone else’s problem”: if we see a gap, we are proactive in addressing it. We uphold excellence and are accountable to each other and to ourselves.
- Learn Voraciously - We are always curious, seeking out opportunities to learn and to better ourselves. We adopt a growth mindset and are motivated by the gaps we see in ourselves and our businesses.
- Move with Focus and Urgency - We identify the few things which will have the biggest impact, and move fast to achieve them.
- We are all for one - We win and lose as one team. We rally around people and invest in each others’ growth: whether it’s celebrating wins, lending a hand or giving constructive feedback.
