We believe that it should be as easy for brands to buy the most performant and efficient ad unit - starting with YouTube creator integrations - as buying Meta and Google ads. Before Agentio, this wasn't possible. We have just closed our $12M Series A, led by Benchmark (Nov 2024), with follow-on investments from our Seed round co-leads, Craft and AlleyCorp. We have raised $16.25M to date. We're ushering in the future of brand and creator partnerships by enabling authenticity and trust to be purchased at scale. We aim to shift a meaningful portion of the $600B digital ad spend market to creators - to enable them to create, build, and live off their work. This isn't possible without an ad platform that gives advertisers end-to-end automation, which reduces weeks-long processes to seconds. We believe that Agentio can be The Trade Desk of the future, and so much more. We're looking for the world's best talent to help us achieve our incredible ambitions, be instrumental in creating a strong culture, and earn ownership in a generational company.Agentio does not accept unsolicited resumes from search firm recruiters.
