Funding signals are one of the cleanest, most predictive ways to focus GTM energy. With Lusha, you can automate the entire motion: detect the raise, enrich decision-makers, route to reps, and track pipeline impact. It’s a workflow that turns market events into revenue, faster than competitors can react.
When a company raises a new round, everything changes. Budgets expand, new leadership comes in, and strategic priorities shift toward growth. For RevOps, these moments are gold. If you can operationalize funding signals inside your GTM systems, you’re not just giving sales a list—you’re giving them timing, context, and urgency.
Ignoring funding data means chasing accounts without budget readiness. Acting on it means putting your reps in front of decision-makers at the exact point they’re most likely to buy.
