Exciting news! ๐ We've raised a $15.1 million Series A to deliver even more next-generation subscription and retention tools.
Funding includes $8.6m led by @telescopevc w/ participation from BFG Partners, RiverPark Ventures, & @VanterraC.
More new features from @GetStayAI ๐ฅ
Product Segmentation in the Customer Portal
โ Subscribers in Texas see products that ship to Texas. โ Subscribers to cat food see a carousel of just cat-related add-ons
Just build your segment and select!
We pushed 56 new features at @GetStayAI in Q1 and followed up with 21 in April.
Instead of using AI to downsize we used it to supercharge our product and eng team.
Productivity is up 297% from Q4. We moved the entire org from Chat to Claude in Q1, it's made an huge impact
Punt everything to 2026? NOT THE @GetStayAI TEAM!!๐ฅ
We have 3 INSANE product releases hitting Stay portals over the next few weeks
1. ๐ง Staylien: Your AI-powered strategy sidekick. Ask whatโs driving churn, loyalty, or LTV and get fast, straightforward answers that fuel smarter decisions. Strategy meetings just got way more efficient.
2. ๐ซ Cancel Flow Builder: Save more customers with flows that flex. Deliver targeted offers by segment, stack incentives, and control every step of the cancel journey. No more one-size-fits-none logic.
3. ๐จ Custom Customer Portal: Zero templates, zero guardrails. Just full creative control of drag, drop, and resize widgets to build a subscription experience that actually looks and feels like your brand.
๐ If youโre a Stay client and want early access, let me know
๐ If youโre a brand ready to actually get serious about growth and retention, shoot me a DM, weโll get you dialed in
๐ชง This is your sign to start a subscription program for your brand.
And if you already have one, this is your sign to optimize it. ๐
