Company Description

Uplane uses AI to automate digital advertising. Uplane's AI platform creates thousands of ad campaigns with matching landing pages for each one, and allocates budgets across Meta, Google, TikTok and more. By connecting to CRM and ERP data, Uplane learns what drives profit and continuously improves campaigns. Companies waste billions on bad ads, mismatched landing pages, and poor budget allocation. Uplane fixes this by replacing a patchwork of agencies, spreadsheets, and siloed tools with one self-improving system. The result: 20-50% higher ROAS for enterprises and effortless, expert-level marketing for SMBs. Digital marketing is a $740B market with a 10% CAGR. Uplane charges a base fee plus up to 10% of ad spend, outperforming marketing agencies that typically charge 10-30%. The team has deep founder-market fit: Julius managed a 7-digit monthly ad budget at one of the biggest ad spenders in Europe; Marvin has an academic background in Data Science (Imperial, Harvard) and led growth analytics & operations at a unicorn; Lukas was Head of Engineering at two YC startups, Blair (S19) and Fastgen (W23).
