Inc. Names Apollo.io a 2024 Power Partner Award Winner

We're excited to announce that the good folks at Inc. have named Apollo one of Inc.’s 2024 Power Partners Award Winners.

Inc. is a leading, independent media brand for entrepreneurs and business leaders. This is Inc.’s third annual Power Partner Awards, a directory they created to honor B2B organizations with proven track records for supporting entrepreneurs and helping startups grow. Apollo is included in the Best B2B providers in the CRM - Sales Force Automation category, alongside 359 other highly acclaimed business leaders including Pipedrive, Slack, and HubSpot.

Every year, the editorial team at Inc. conducts exhaustive research to recognize B2B partners who support entrepreneurs in critical business areas, such as hiring, compliance, infrastructure development, cloud migration, and fundraising. Inc.'s methodology collects data from several sources, including: 

• Anonymous client surveys and qualitative ratings

• Online sentiment analysis from Inc.'s data partner, Meltwater

• Research and analysis of data by Inc. reporters

“As part of the vetting process, our team of editors, researchers and reporters gathered information on companies’ products and services, assessed their reputation as captured in online comments and forums, and collected customer testimonials to ensure that the sales pitch matches the actual client experience,” says Hofman. “In every case, we spoke to founders like you who were happy to attest to a vendor’s genuine commitment to a mutually beneficial business partnership. We’re happy to be the conduit for that positive word of mouth.” 

Apollo solves a critical need by consolidating the entire sales tech stack in one unified platform. We’re proud to be one of the fastest-growing companies in SaaS, currently supporting over 500,000 companies, 80,000+ paying customers, and millions of users globally, growing revenue by over 14x since the beginning of 2021. 

In addition to this award, Apollo is the No. 1 ranked best sales intelligence software for small businesses on G2, and has earned No. 1 rankings in the SMB categories for lead capture, marketing account intelligence, and lead intelligence. Apollo is also ranked No. 3 for Best Sales Products on G2’s 2024 Best Software Awards.

“Go-to-market is really hard. The process is complex, lacks intelligent guidance, and involves slow, convoluted workflows where the available tools today cater primarily to large enterprises,” said Tim Zheng, Apollo’s Co-founder and CEO. 

“Apollo was built from the ground up to solve these problems. The platform simplifies world-class go-to-market strategies, making them intelligent and accessible to the underserved market of 330 million global small businesses. Business owners can replace multiple sales and marketing tools with Apollo, reducing costs without sacrificing modern workflows that provide a competitive edge. We are honored to be recognized by Inc. as a partner to small businesses, supporting their growth and accelerating their revenue."
