About Gainsight

Gainsight is a Human-First Company

A vibrant collage showcases a smiling man in a striped shirt, a woman speaking on stage at a company event, a person in sunglasses, and two people deep in conversation. A dog sporting pink sunglasses adds whimsy, as colorful circles accent the background.

Winning in business the durable way: human-first.

Leading the industry with award-winning software is rewarding. But the best moments—the ones we tell our moms about—happen when we’re together with our customers, colleagues, and partners. Our mission is to prove that you can win in business by being Human-First. For us, that means cultivating innovative ideas, nourishing a deep connection to our communities, introducing industry-defining products, and never saying no to a moment of childlike joy.
