The claim, plainly

Calendly raised a $300 million Series B round when the company was at approximately $100 million in ARR.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

Assessment

The claim accurately captures the broad contours of Calendly's funding history but slightly understates the round size and overstates the ARR at the exact time of closing. On January 26, 2021, Calendly announced a $350 million Series B round (not $300 million). At the time of the announcement, Calendly's ARR was reported at approximately $70 million to $85 million for 2020/early 2021, and crossed the $100 million ARR threshold later in 2021.

Calendly officially announced a $350 million Series B round led by OpenView Venture Partners and ICONIQ Capital on January 26, 2021.
Financial tracking reports (including Contrary Research, Sacra, and SiliconANGLE) place Calendly's ARR at approximately $70 million at year-end 2020/early 2021, scaling past $100 million later in 2021.
