Today, @tryprofound is excited to announce our $96M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by @lightspeedvp with participation from @sequoia, @kleinerperkins, @mattevantic, @saga_ventures and @southpkcommons. When we started Profound 18 months ago, we had two fundamental beliefs about where marketing is heading: 1. Every company will care deeply about how AI talks about their brand. 2. Every marketer will use AI Agents to do their best work, faster. Those beliefs are becoming reality faster than we imagined. Now, we serve more than 10% of the Fortune 500 and are the number 1 leader on the G2 grid for AEO. To double down on that momentum, we’re taking two big swings: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: AI workers that take marketing teams from concept to execution. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: certifications and cohort-based learning for marketers who want stay at the forefront of AI marketing. Reply with 𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧 for free access to one of our most popular agents. No account required and no strings attached.

Just wrapped up another amazing @tryprofound Zero Click, our customer conference. This one was our 4th so far, and our 2nd time in NYC. Big shoutout to the team for making this event an absolute pleasure. I had the pleasure of being able to announce Profound Aim and Projects, our latest product helping marketers organize and execute on their work with AI, all in an enterprise-friendly way. More details on these products soon. The Zero Click world tour resumes later this fall, we'll be heading to London, Singapore, and Sydney in October. See you all there! The Profound EPDD (engineering, product, design, and data) teams played a huge part in this conference. Last months have been absolute an sprint releasing the product, data teams presented world-class and never-before-seen research, and our design team executed every single detail of the branding completely in-house. What a pleasure to work with this crew!

Over the past 8 weeks, we've seen Agents usage 16x on @tryprofound. 40,000 hours of manual work now back in the hands of our customers... and we just launched our latest one yesterday at Zero Click NY. Learn more at our webinar on June 17th → tryprofound.com/resources/we…

A quick celebration: @tryprofound Projects shipped ✅ and presented at ZC ✅

Today we are launching our first creativeconviction.ai interview series, and we are starting with Dylan Babbs (@dbabbs), co-founder and CTO of Profound. Dylan has one of the clearest views on craft as a competitive advantage, so we are honored to open with him. Over the coming weeks we will share conversations with more creative leaders: Stephen from Paper (@stephenhaney), Nir (@NirZicherman) from Oboe, Ben and Zubin from Raindrop (@benhylak; @snarkyzk), Paul from Ramp (@PaulJun_), Quinten from Tolan (@quintendf), and Diego from Family Office (@messybirkin). All of this lives on creativeconviction.ai, a platform sparking conversation around creativity, capital, and AI. The "why" is that we believe craft, product quality, and creativity are what build durable competitive advantages in the age of AI. The companies that compound fastest have the clearest point of view on how they want to look, feel, and be understood. As investors, we meet so many people building this way, and Creative Conviction is our attempt to create resources in service of this community, connecting people and championing the products and missions worth following.
