Mega has raised $11.5 million in Series A funding to scale its AI-powered growth platform designed for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs).Â
The company says its system replaces traditional marketing agencies with a network of AI agents that manage SEO, paid advertising, GEO and website optimisation end-to-end, helping businesses grow without the cost and complexity of agency support.
The funding round was led by Goodwater Capital, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Atreides, SignalFire and Kearny Jackson. The round also drew backing from WNBA stars Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart, Kelsey Plum and Nneka Ogwumike.
Brooklyn-based Mega says it is targeting a long-standing problem faced by smaller businesses trying to compete in the digital marketplace.
Many SMB owners rely on marketing agencies but usually find it hard to see clear returns. Agencies can be expensive, results vary widely, and campaigns typically require manual execution and long turnaround times.
At the same time, the rapid growth of AI marketing tools has created another challenge, where many platforms still require business owners to learn complex software before they can see results.
Mega says its platform is designed to remove that limitation by delivering marketing execution directly through software.
The company’s core product is an AI-powered growth engine built for businesses generating between $500,000 and $20 million in annual revenue. It operates through a network of specialised AI agents that handle SEO, paid advertising, generative engine optimisation (GEO) and website management.
According to the company, the system plans, executes and continuously optimises campaigns while generating performance reports automatically. In practice, Mega says a business can sign up and still see its marketing run in the background even if the owner never logs into the platform.
The company’s entry into the marketing technology space happened almost by accident. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the founding team had been building a video game company. When ChatGPT launched, they began experimenting with AI tools to improve their own marketing efforts.
The results were striking. Organic traffic to their projects increased more than 100-fold, while paid customer acquisition costs dropped by around 80%.
When co-founder Lucas Pellan shared the tools with other founders, demand quickly followed.
“We realised early that business owners do not want another AI chat tool that requires hours of prompting,” Pellan said. “What they want are customers. So we built a system that actually does the work. Our AI agents execute marketing tasks end-to-end and continuously improve performance so SMBs can achieve predictable growth.”
Mega says about 55% of its marketing work is fully automated, while 35% is mostly automated with human oversight and the remaining 10% handled entirely by human specialists. The company says this hybrid approach allows it to scale operations while maintaining quality control.
Each campaign also feeds data back into the system, allowing the platform to improve ad targeting, creative generation, bidding strategies and optimisation across its entire customer base.
The company’s own growth has been fast. Mega says it expanded from zero to $10 million in revenue within 10 months. Its customers include home services companies, law firms, healthcare providers, ecommerce brands and software businesses.
In one case, Mega helped a Texas-based medical spa increase search traffic by 174 times, while a personal injury law firm saw its search visibility grow 243 times, pushing several key terms into the top three search rankings.
A direct-to-consumer health brand using the platform generated $120,000 in website revenue and surpassed its sales performance on Amazon without increasing advertising spend.
Darin Chase, a home services business owner who uses the platform, said the system has simplified his company’s marketing operations.
“Since working with Mega we finally have a predictable flow of leads,” he said. “We’re also able to focus on other projects because Mega handles the marketing side.”
Mega believes the opportunity in the SMB market is huge. Tens of thousands of marketing agencies currently serve smaller businesses across North America, however, many companies still see difficulty with inconsistent lead generation, limited transparency on results and weak returns on marketing spend.
With digital marketing channels becoming more competitive and expensive, the company argues that AI-driven automation can help narrow the gap between small businesses and large enterprises.
“Mega represents a fundamental shift in how SMBs approach marketing, moving from paying for effort to paying for measurable, repeatable growth,” said Vivek Subramanian, partner and chief product officer at Goodwater Capital.
“We’re excited to support Lucas and the team as they build an AI-native growth engine that businesses can deploy easily.”
With the funding, Mega plans to expand its platform beyond SEO, paid advertising and websites. The company is developing tools to manage the full revenue engine for SMBs, including email marketing, outbound campaigns, organic social media, lead qualification, sales operations and reporting.
Its long-term goal is to provide a fully automated growth infrastructure that allows small and mid-sized businesses to compete with enterprise-level marketing capabilities without the associated cost and complexity.
