By Amit Chowdhry ● Nov 19, 2025
Scale Social AI has secured $1.3 million in pre-seed financing to advance its marketing technology platform, which turns authentic customer content into localized advertising for franchises and multi-location brands. The round was led by LAUNCH and The Syndicate, both overseen by entrepreneur and investor Jason Calacanis, with additional participation from RTP Angel Fund, Primordial Ventures, Charlotte Fund, Triangle Tweener Fund, Blue Valley Capital, a network of strategic angel groups, and individual investors, including Mike Cristinziano, former senior vice president at Citrix and Digital Ocean. Earlier this year, the company also received a $50,000 SEED grant from the NC IDEA Foundation.
