Instreamatic Raises Series A led by Progress Ventures, joined by Accomplice and Google

I’m beyond excited to announce that Instreamatic has not only closed its Series A round but with a dream team investor pool.

Progress Ventures, one of the best VC firms investing in marketing and media, led the round.

Accomplice, a very successful VC with many great bets like AngelList, DraftKings, Skillz, and more

Google, needs no introduction :)

Other industry leaders such as MathCapital and Hawke Media invested again.

I’m not going to lie — the previous several years were tough and challenging. We had to build the entire Voice AI infrastructure for marketing from scratch while keeping it lean.

As many of you know, the majority of investors don’t talk to startups that have the word “advertising” somewhere in the pitch deck. Never mind the number of multi-billion dollar IPO’s we see every year in ad tech. However, we found those bold investors who supported our vision right from the beginning.

In the early days, people told us that we were crazy and we’re just wasting our time because nobody would ever talk to an ad. But we found and partnered with some truly innovative companies including Pandora Media that were willing to experiment and try our tech. Guess what? Voice Ads by Instreamatic is one of the most engaging digital ad formats with a consistent 12% average engagement rate.

Our pipeline of partnerships is beyond impressive today. We never dreamed of working with so many local and global market leaders in media. This year will be very exciting for us, we are working on a few amazing new products that will further boost the Voice Revolution in Marketing.

Last but not least, I’m honored to work with so many talented people at Instreamatic. This is a true pleasure driving this big change in marketing with all of you. This is history in the making.
