CreatorDB, a company dedicated to creating advanced AI infrastructure for the influencer marketing landscape, has recently accomplished a significant milestone by securing $4.67 million in a Series A funding round. This funding surpassed their initial goal of $4 million, showcasing strong investor interest. The round was primarily led by Acorn Pacific Ventures. Other notable contributors included Pegatron, a leader in global manufacturing, along with Meimaii Technology, AVA Ventures, and the National Development Fund.
With this new investment, CreatorDB is well-positioned to accelerate its efforts in enhancing the creator economy, which is rapidly expanding globally. The company has ambitious plans for the future, aiming to improve its proprietary AI capabilities and expand its extensive database. They also plan to introduce a self-service Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, which will empower businesses and individuals in managing their influencer marketing strategies more effectively. Additionally, CreatorDB aims to expand its presence in the United States, which is becoming a increasingly important market for influencer marketing. This new funding will further enable them to assist brands and advertising agencies as they navigate the complexities of international markets.
What sets CreatorDB apart is its impressive track record. The company has demonstrated remarkable market traction and has operated efficiently, achieving profitability within just 17 months of its establishment. Over the past two years, CreatorDB has maintained an average Net Dollar Retention rate of 115%. This figure is significant because it reflects not only customer satisfaction but also a growing demand for their services. Essentially, a retention rate above 100% indicates that existing customers are not just staying with the company but are also investing more as they recognize the value CreatorDB provides.
CreatorDB plays a crucial role in supporting creator-led growth initiatives for a wide range of global brands. Their client list includes well-known names such as Notion, AirAsia, 7-Eleven, Raid Shadow Legends, Surfshark, Emma, AMD (for Acer), Wargaming, Gamania, Karat, Displate, and Worldcoin. Having initially found success in the Asian market, the company has now expanded its reach by establishing operations in the United States. They recently opened an office in Los Angeles, which is led by Daniel Shi. Shi is an experienced technology executive who has previously worked with notable companies such as Remitly, Tencent, and Amex Ventures.
