AI-powered martech platform JustAI, erstwhile Just Words, has raised $17 Mn (₹160.2 Cr) in its Series A funding round led by US-based venture capital (VC) firm Base10, with participation from existing backers Y Combinator and Peak XV Partners.
The round also saw participation from HubSpot cofounder and CTO Dharmesh Shah, founders of Eppo and Vapi, and executives from Anthropic and Chime.
The startup plans to utilise the fresh funding to ramp up its engineering and go-to-market (GTM) teams, strengthen its agentic AI infrastructure, and expand its product portfolio to ecommerce and B2B marketing use cases. A chunk of the capital will also be utilised to hire more talent in India and explore market opportunities in the country.
“What stood out to us about JustAI is the team’s depth of experience in growth and machine learning, and their clarity that AI should not simply generate more content, but help marketers make better decisions. Neha, Jeff and the team are building the operating layer for the next generation of marketing teams,” said a Base10 spokesperson.
Founded in 2024 as Just Words by former X executives Neha Mittal and Jeff Hara, the startup initially offered SaaS tools to automate personalised messaging offerings for enterprises. It rebranded itself as JustAI late last year.
In its current avatar, JustAI helps enterprises automate marketing and hyper-personalised messaging. It leverages a team of four coordinated agents, spanning strategy, creative, decisioning and data, to handle complex campaigns and optimise customer engagement.
While the strategy agent helps marketers audit users and segments, the creative agent turns these insights into messaging across channels. The decisioning agent optimises for goals such as engagement and retention, while the data agent measures insights and feeds learnings back into the system.
It counts the likes of Coursera, ClickUp, Better, Figma, Pinterest, Etsy, among others as customers. JustAI last raised $1.7 Mn in a seed funding round co-led by Peak XV Partners and Y Combinator in 2024.
The fundraise comes at a time when AI has transformed the martech ecosystem, helping brands analyse unstructured data, speed up asset generation, build personalised campaigns, drive cross-channel optimisation and unlock insights. As a result, the space continues to generate healthy investor interest.
In March, AI-powered marketing platform BambooBox raised $6.6 Mn in a funding round led by Peak XV Surge. A month earlier in February, AI-native martech startup Fibr bagged $5.7 Mn in a seed round led by existing investor Accel.
At the heart of all this is India’s growing martech ecosystem, which is reportedly projected to become a $186 Bn opportunity by 2030.
