Our Story
Andrew was from
Meta. Dan was from
Google. We met at
Pinterest. We realized that we could unify ideas from ads and organic search to make search and discovery for all commercial media dramatically better.
We started Promoted to match every buyer with every seller across every app. After joining
Y Combinator in Winter 2021, we’ve been dedicated to optimizing marketplaces ever since.
Our Team
We’re engineers from Meta, Google, and Pinterest, and we’ve built this before together.

Our Values
Solve for Win-Win
True value happens when all sides of a transaction are satisfied. We solve for win-win in our optimization systems, with our partners, and in our company.
Prove Value
With earnestness, sincerity, and accountability, we relentlessly focus on proving value. We add complexity because it better matches buyers with sellers and grows marketplaces faster.
