About Flint Flint is the first self-improving system for performance marketing. We connect to brands' ad accounts and optimize them through creating pages instantly for each ad group and running a learning loop that continually improves conversions. We just signed a Fortune 10 customer, and within 48 hours their customer acquisition cost decreased by 50%. We're backed by Accel, Sheryl Sandberg (former Meta COO)'s venture fund SBVP, and Neo.
The Vision Sandberg instantly understood Flint's vision. "I was sharing how it took (me) five teams three months to build one A/B test just to increase conversion by 10% on our Google ad," Lim said. "And then she stopped me, [and] said, 'Michelle, it was 140 people at Meta who had to do this'." — TechCrunch We envision a future where billions more problems get solved, using a new kind of system.
Every business will have a digital marketer that runs marketing autonomously. Responding to real-world signals: competitive shifts, user behavior, trending search queries, and the way an autonomous vehicle responds to road conditions and traffic. The Team "One of the most talent-dense AI startups... each member of the early Flint team has a track record, and as a team, they perform like athletes.
Amazing to watch." - Dan Levine, Accel Flint is led by co-founders Michelle Lim , Engineer #1 turned Head of Growth and Product at Warp, and Max Levenson , engineering leadership at autonomous vehicle startup Nuro, then Engineer #2 at Vooma (YCS23). Every single member of the Flint team has been a founding engineer / founder. Early-stage best practices are in our team's DNA. Because of that, our team knows how to catalyze hockey stick growth, but just as critically, how to navigate it sustainably to create $XB-valued companies.
After all, we've done it before. We are alumni of Netflix, Scale, and Shepherd (YC W21) and work together in person out of historic Jackson Square.
