may the best B2B new media company win :)
the old B2B marketing playbook is broken.
i ran growth at Fluidstack from $2M to $2B in valuation. so believe me when I say - traditional SEO, PR, and ads are becoming irrelevant.
at FS, our audiences were reading Substacks like SemiAnalysis, listening to podcasts like Acquired and TBPN, and scrolling LinkedIn and Twitter.
every team knows this is where their buyers are now.
but navigating this world of new media is a nightmare.
which platforms to invest in? which audiences to target? how much to spend?
zero real data goes into these decisions. especially at the start.
and partnering with creators takes months of manual searching, cold outreach, and back-and-forth, with most of it going nowhere.
zero data / automation / results.
i left one of the fastest growing companies in the world to fix this. and I partnered with a brilliant CTO @AbhishekManika2 who was an ML engineer at The Trade Desk, and a YT creator with 15M views (!!!).
today we're launching @join_astute, the world's first B2B new media platform, starting with creator partnerships.
we have 2 AI agents:
- a new media manager for B2B companies
- a talent manager for creators.
and we raised an oversubscribed $1.2M pre-seed from @silicongardens, @flyerone_vc, Marathon Fund, Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator, and strategic angels.
but this is only the beginning.
we want to build a space where every B2B company will come to build their brand, legitimacy, and their own loyal audiences.
