We're excited to back Valid on their mission to build the ad agency of the future ? ? Here's more from Jared Newman on why we invested: https://lnkd.in/g4hKGV_7
???I’m thrilled to announce Valid (formerly Validated) has raised a $5.5M seed round led by Canaan Partners, bringing our total funding to $7.3M. This fundraise includes participation from existing investors Neo and J Ventures, as well as investments from strategic investors including Steve Huffman (CEO of Reddit) and Scott Banister (inventor of search ads). With this injection of capital, we are accelerating our journey to build the infinitely scalable ad agency. The true potential of advertising remains untapped. 2% of GDP goes towards ads. Digital advertising generates the opportunity to place your business in front of the entire world. Strike the right keys, and scale infinitely. This promise remains unfulfilled. Today, 80% of advertising dollars flow through ad agencies. The deficiencies of these ad agencies are well known: they’re bloated, slow, and inefficient. Startup costs are high and performance is middling. It’s time for a new kind of ad agency— one that embraces technology and holds ROAS as its north star. ?????????? ??????????. Valid is the first AI-enabled ad agency, covering everything from attribution through ad delivery, leveraging technology to deliver results that are humanly impossible. Already, Valid has unlocked millions of dollars in revenue for dozens of mobile apps, B2B SaaS, and e-commerce customers. We think this is just the beginning. Our goal is for Valid to be around for 100 years, just like the best ad agencies. But unlike previous eras, we are not constrained by human bandwidth. With Valid, corner stores run ads as effectively as Nike. Ready to scale? Let’s connect: valid.co A special thank you to our many champions: Canaan (Jared Newman), JVentures (John Nordin), Neo (Ali Partovi & Suzanne Xie), Steve Huffman, Scott Banister, and Austen Allred. — For more details, see the link in the comments for our full post.
