## About Us

At MAI (pronounced “my”), we're on a mission to democratize advanced advertising technology. We believe that cutting-edge marketing tools, once exclusive to large enterprises with massive budgets, should be accessible to everyone. Our platform uses AI agents to automate and optimize performance marketing, empowering small and mid-sized businesses to scale their ad spend profitably without the need for an agency or endless hours of manual campaign management. Founded by ad platform veterans from Google and Instacart, we've successfully raised a $25 million Seed funding round led by Kleiner Perkins to accelerate our growth. This capital will be used to expand our teams, bringing our vision of intelligent, autonomous marketing to life. Our AI agents have already proven their value, helping clients drive 40% more sales and managing millions in monthly Google Ads spend. Our client waitlist is growing by the day.

- Proven track record managing full-funnel campaigns across major channels (Google, Meta, etc.), spanning upper-funnel brand awareness, mid-funnel consideration and engagement, and lower-funnel conversion and performance marketing.
- Strong understanding of digital advertising concepts, including audience segmentation, bidding strategies, attribution, and optimization workflows.
- Experience using campaign management and analytics tools such as Google Ads, Meta Ads, Google Analytics or equivalent platforms.
- Excellent organizational and analytical skills, with attention to detail and ability to manage multiple campaigns simultaneously.
