Overview
Calendly is a private, Atlanta-based scheduling and meeting-workflow platform founded in 2013 by Tope Awotona, who remains the company's CEO. The platform serves more than 50 million users across upwards of 240 countries, handling meeting scheduling, payments, meeting notes, follow-ups, and contact management for individual professionals and enterprise sales, recruiting, and customer-success teams.
Calendly raised its first outside capital in January 2021: a $350 million round led by OpenView Venture Partners and Iconiq, which valued the company at more than $3 billion. The company used the raise to expand beyond consumer scheduling into enterprise features, later acquiring recruiting-scheduling specialist Prelude in September 2022 to push further into talent-acquisition workflows. Through 2026, Calendly has continued expanding its product line with AI-driven features including a meeting note-taker and an AI scheduling assistant called Callie.
Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and involve risk of complete loss of principal. You should be prepared to hold private securities for an extended period; there is no assurance of a secondary market, an IPO, or other liquidity event. You are fully responsible for conducting your own due diligence. Pricing is indicative — nothing here is an offer of securities.
