Sales enablement software companies Seismic and Highspot announced a definitive merger agreement on February 12, 2026. The deal combines two companies each valued at more than $3 billion, creating a $6 billion entity in the growing sales enablement market.

The merged company will operate under the Seismic brand. Rob Tarkoff will continue as CEO while Highspot founder Robert Wahbe joins the board of directors.

“There is a growing demand for technologies that help organizations connect sales strategy to execution and drive consistent revenue performance at scale,” said Tarkoff. “This proposed merger is about meeting that increasing demand and raising the bar for how revenue organizations plan, execute, perform, and scale.”

Seismic serves around 2,000 customers worldwide, including Uber, UPS, IBM, and Oracle. Highspot’s clients include Stripe, Amazon Web Services, OpenAI, DocuSign, and Adobe. The company reported more than 40 customers with 5,000 sales representatives each as of November.

The transaction targets the global sales enablement platform market, which is expected to reach $12.78 billion by 2030 according to Grand View Research. Both companies have raised significant funding – Highspot secured $650 million since 2011, while Seismic raised over $1.26 billion since 2010.

“Highspot and Seismic share a belief that enablement sits at the center of how modern revenue teams operate,” said Wahbe. “Following closing, we will have the opportunity to move the revenue enablement space forward by giving customers more innovation, more insights leading to actions, and more confidence in how they drive performance.”

The combined platform will focus on AI-powered capabilities spanning enablement, content, learning, coaching, analytics, and insights. Seismic functions as a search engine for sales teams to query product and account information. Highspot serves as an AI sales coach that analyzes customer interactions and provides real-time recommendations.

The deal follows broader consolidation in the sales enablement sector, including the Showpad and Bigtincan merger in 2025. The transaction requires customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
