Why We Invested In AdPipe - Series A
We recently led a Series A investment into AdPipe – a fast follow to our seed investment in June 2023. Here’s why we continue to be so excited about this team, market, and opportunity.
Team
Co-founders Andrew Levy and Sam Birdsong are video and marketing industry veterans who saw a better way. Customer focus, vision, value-first culture, and a one-two punch of sales (Levy) and operations (Birdsong) are the foundation catapulting company growth.
Product
AdPipe taps into the growing trend of video-first experience, empowering marketers to be 10x faster and better. It can do this across organizations – breaking down silos and streamlining creation workflows.
As Levy explains, “We allow our partners to speak to imagery in plain English and pair their imagery with their objectives and get to market quickly. And we can do that scaled across multiple sources.”
Growth
AdPipe grew from $0 to multi-million ARR in less than two years. They tripled revenue in 2023, bringing on large brands like Aflac, John Deere, and Caterpillar – with more on the way.
Derek Grant, formerly VP of Sales at Pardot and Salesloft, joined AdPipe in 2023 to scale the sales organization and the expertise and playbook paid off.
And the world is paying attention. Adpipe was featured in a Wall Street Journal article on innovation and took center stage at Venture Atlanta.
Partner Kathryn O’Day said,
“We could not be more excited about the AdPipe team, product, vision, and market! Andrew and Sam are the best and brightest; the industry-leading AI solves a huge business pain; and the customer feedback speaks for itself. AdPipe is a top company in the Southeast and the country. We’re honored to be onboard the rocketship.”
As AdPipe continues to grow, they are seeking a Head of Marketing and you can see that posting here.
