AirOps raises $15.5M to turn marketers into AI growth leaders

Powering the era of the moonshot marketer

We’re excited to announce our $15.5M Series A led by Sandhya Hegde at Unusual Ventures with participation from Wing VC, Founder Collective, Xfund, Alt Capital, Lauryn Motamedi, David Rogier and JD Ross.

A fundraise, while never the destination, is a great moment to pause and reflect. We’ve had a year of strong growth and huge customer wins. Nothing has been more inspiring than seeing ambitious marketers bring bold—some might say crazy—ideas to life to grow faster, in a world where growth is steadily getting harder.

Growth is becoming increasingly challenging, and conventional growth strategies are losing their effectiveness more rapidly than ever.

Marketers face increasing challenges in delivering growth

To win, marketers must adapt, building and scaling ambitious strategies with fewer resources. Nowhere is this more true than our initial focus : content marketing, where teams our customers are being asked to:

• Produce higher quality original content at higher volume
• Navigate an increasingly volatile and competitive organic search landscape
• Publish and optimize large volumes of product information
• Retool their internal and agency workflows for a world with LLMs, with no clear playbook how

In promise: LLMs should be the answer. Unlimited outputs on demand? Not so fast.

In reality: Impactful production-grade content is beyond the grasp of today’s marketer. Existing tools either turn out generic, inaccurate content or just don’t scale. CMOs and agencies are being told to “use AI to grow faster” without the playbooks and tools to bring that into reality.

The best marketers are seeing an opportunity to race ahead, fueled by AirOps. These ‘moonshot marketers’ are breaking new ground and are who we are building the future of AI-Growth alongside. In short, we are building the community and platform that will help marketers:

• #1: Learn the craft of AI-first growth AND
• #2: Discover, deploy, and scale the most ambitious growth strategies

Meet AirOps

Production-grade AI outputs—content that drive clicks, conversions, and revenue— has typically required significant human or engineering investment. AirOps simplifies the complexity of building production-grade AI workflows that bring together your knowledge, human input, live data and more and puts that power in the hands of any marketer.

Our customers—both in-house marketing teams and agencies—are using AirOps workflows to drive more traffic, higher conversion rates, and faster product merchandizing. Just a few examples:

• Growth teams deploying data-driven programmatic SEO campaigns to drive 20x+ gains in organic traffic
• Merchandising teams using high-precision PDP enrichment to revitalize an iconic brand
• Agencies entirely rethinking the impact they can have on clients’ growth
• Founders codifying decades worth of SEO experience into AI-workflows, creating more efficient workflows and faster organic growth

Thank you our community

We have a mighty, passionate base of users who have helped shape what AirOps is today and the direction we are headed. We know there is a learning curve for marketers working with AI for the first time.

To flatten that curve, we are working with leading experts at agencies like Graphite, Hypergrowth Partners, and GrowthX Labs to create best-in-class playbooks alongside our platform. Core to our mission is making AI-first growth, and moonshot strategies, achievable for every marketer.

Lastly, thank you to our team for their long nights and dedication to our customers.
