- OneScreen.AI
Participated · Seed · Jul 2021
OneScreen.ai operates a SaaS-enabled B2B marketplace that aggregates fragmented out-of-home (OOH) advertising inventory—billboards, transit signage, sports and event advertising, wrapped vehicles, blimps, buses, and connected TV—into a centralized, AI-powered platform. The product enables marketers to locate, buy, deploy, and measure OOH campaigns in one place and aims to create the first streamlined, connected OOH market network. The company plans to use the new funding to build an all-in-one real-world open directory and continue platform development. OneScreen.ai reported booking $1 million in revenue in Q3 and another $1 million in October. The startup has raised $4.5 million to date. The team includes alumni from Google, HubSpot, and Wayfair, and the company cites a $30 billion OOH industry where more than 50% of inventory goes unsold monthly. OneScreen.ai is a Boston, MA-based out-of-home (OOH) advertising startup led by Sam Mallikarjunan. The company is building an OOH Market Network intended to bring offline advertising tools comparable to what Google and Facebook offer online. Its product efforts include an inventory search engine, a platform for media companies to operate more efficiently, and a marketplace to manage ad campaigns. OneScreen.ai raised $1M in pre-seed funding to support these efforts. The company intends to use the funds to expand operations, accelerate growth and extend its business reach.
- Mombox (Acquired by The Kive Company)
Led · Equity · Dec 2020
Mombox sells curated postnatal kits that prioritize the mother’s recovery, not the child. The standard kit includes organic overnight pads, a peri bottle, a perineal ice pack, post-pregnancy panties and other soothing care products; the company also offers a C-section box and a Deluxe Mombox. Today the product is sold primarily as a one-time gift purchase, though the founder plans to expand into kit subscriptions, content, and a platform to connect new moms with care providers. The envisioned platform is a “24/7 pocket concierge” to link mothers with lactation consultants, pelvic floor therapists, marital therapists and other providers across the first year of motherhood. Mombox aims to personalize the experience based on each mother’s journey (breastfeeding vs. bottle, stay-at-home vs. working, etc.) and to support recovery across a 12-month matrescence period. The company was bootstrapped until the recent raise; the founder is currently the sole employee and reports 100% year-over-year revenue growth to date, having spent $0 on marketing up until now.
