- Salesforce bought Clockwise’s employees, but not the company itself
- Customers with the watch are advised to migrate to Reclaim
- Agentforce Annual Recurring Revenue Up 169%
Clockwise CEO Matt Martin has announced via a LinkedIn post that Salesforce will hire the startup team as part of its broader Agentforce push.
Because Salesforce is buying the workers and not the company, Clockwise has confirmed it will shut down from March 27, 2026, leaving customers to find an alternative.
Martin confirmed that all customer data would be deleted, meaning Salesforce would not have access to Clockwise’s database and unused subscriptions would be refunded.

“We believe this move will allow us to make an even greater impact,” Martin wrote, explaining the founding team’s success and experience. “We will bring our deep expertise in building reliable, agent software to the Agentic Enterprise.”
The 10-year-old company has served big clients such as Uber, Netflix and Atlassian during its time on the market, but now users are being directed to rival app Reclaim in light of the near-immediate shutdown. Reclaim will match Clockwise’s pricing to make the transition less painful.
“They join my charter to build Agent Interoperability and Orchestration within Agentforce,” Clockwise co-founder Gary Lerhaupt wrote in a separate LinkedIn post. Lerhaupt joined the Agentforce team as Product Architecture VP a little over a year ago after about eight years at Clockwise. Martin also spent over two years at Saleforce between 2014 and 2016 before leaving to create Clockwise.
While Salesforce hasn’t commented on how the new recruits might drive Agentforce forward, we can at least expect tremendous growth. The Agentforce business grew 169% in annual recurring revenue and now accounts for $800 million. The company’s total revenue for the most recent full year was $41.5 billion, an increase of 10% over the previous year.
