SpeedyBrand – an innovative Generative AI platform founded by Ayush Jasuja, Jatin Mehta, and Ranti Dev Sharma – recently announced has raised $2.5 million led by Y Combinator and GV (Google Ventures). And the company will use the funding to advance and expand its AI-powered SEO content marketing platform tailored for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that 20% of businesses close before one year, and 70% of SMBs shut down within ten years of founding. Almost half (47%) of business owners handle content marketing themselves. They lack the resources — including budget, staffing, and time — to do it effectively at scale. Many of these businesses fail because they lack a proper marketing plan. SpeedyBrand solves this by providing custom AI models to help SMBs scale their businesses and bring out unique stories.
SpeedyBrand’s unique AI understands brand tone, target audience, and customer profile. It then generates SEO-optimized, plagiarism-free blogs and social media content that resonate with customers. The AI-powered platform produces quality content ready to post in seconds and helps businesses massively cut down marketing costs and time spent.
Launched in December 2022 by Ayush Jasuja, Jatin Mehta, and Ranti Dev Sharma, SpeedyBrand was created to provide SMBs a platform to help them enhance their online presence and share their story consistently and coherently. These insights come from the team’s previous venture, serving 30,000 SMBs with payroll solutions. And the founding team has solved core AI problems at companies like Apple, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Nextdoor.
