Markett is a Los Angeles–based platform that connects everyday users with brands and pays people to promote startup services they love. Its product lets ambassadors sign up to market venture-backed companies such as Airbnb, ThriveMarket, FanDuel, The Bouqs, Zeel and Winc in exchange for payments. Founder Franky Bernstein built the company from experience training and recruiting brand ambassadors for Uber and Lyft while at Loyola Marymount University. Markett’s model commits nearly 100 percent of partner marketing budgets to the ambassadors, with company profits dedicated to bonuses. Eventually the company plans to take a cut of every transaction as it scales. Financially, Markett has raised roughly $2 million in venture financing from investors including KEC Ventures, Amplify.LA, Luma Launch, Wavemaker VC, Tiller Partners and several angel investors.
