$3M to Put a Leo Behind Every Brand's Marketing
We're Raising $3M to Build the Future of Intelligent Marketing
We started Leo because we saw companies wanting to get more out of their marketing and AI tools but not having the right system to make it happen. Businesses were stuck relying on expensive traditional agencies or cobbling together a patchwork of disconnected AI workflows. What they really needed was one intelligent, centralized architecture that could run their marketing better and smarter.
Since launching, Leo has grown into an intelligent marketing partner that our clients rely on every day to drive real results. It powers marketing operations across dozens of industries—from cybersecurity to consumer packaged goods—and consistently beats agency benchmarks with smarter strategy, better content, and faster execution.
We're excited to announce that we're raising a $3 million seed round led by Brad Rowe, founder and chairman of two of Leo's longest-standing clients, Cigent and Blueshift.
Brad has seen how Leo operates firsthand. He's backing us because Leo delivers exactly what businesses need: results-driven marketing that actually moves the needle.
Why Leo?
Most companies don't want a fragmented set of marketing tools they have to constantly babysit. They work with traditional agencies to offload the entire marketing workload onto experts. But agencies are slow, costly, and often frustratingly disconnected from real performance data.
Leo solves this problem by autonomously running the entire digital marketing cycle: from initial data analysis and strategy formulation to content creation, campaign setup, ad set structuring, ad buying strategy, and platform publication. It's an intelligent, full-cycle operating system built around advanced quantitative models and cutting edge AI reasoning. It continuously learns your business, operates your marketing autonomously, and optimizes results in real-time without constant oversight.
We're building towards a world where any business can scale fast, stay lean, and perform at a much higher level than ever before.
What Our Clients Are Doing with Leo
We helped an ecommerce brand 8x their ROAS on Meta by having Leo completely reset their strategy, build their campaigns from scratch, create standout content, and continuously optimize.
We scaled a direct-to-consumer brand's top ad to over 3 million views without additional video production, just smart remixing of existing assets by Leo.
We launched hyper-targeted campaigns for SaaS companies, constantly testing hooks and messaging and outperforming traditional agency benchmarks by more than 40%.
This is what intelligent marketing looks like in practice!
What's Next
Our team is small, scrappy, and intensely focused on shipping new improvements every week. We're obsessed with product, speed, and building things our customers love. We genuinely believe our best work is still ahead.
If you're ready to scale without the traditional agency headaches, let's talk.
And if you're a world-class builder excited about reshaping how marketing gets done, we're aggressively hiring.
Let's build!
