Read about our seed round announcement and what this funding means for the PR and communications industry.
We're thrilled to announce our $3.3 million seed funding round, co-led by Mark Cuban, Commonweal Ventures, and Carpenter Capital, a milestone featured recently in TechCrunch. This seed funding will accelerate the development of our AI-native platform as we continue to deliver contextual, actionable media insights for leading PR, communications, and public affairs teams.
What This Funding Means for PR and Communications Professionals
For years, communications professionals have been asked to do more with less, navigating a fragmented media landscape with outdated legacy tools. Legacy platforms, with their keyword-based, "bolt-on" AI features, are no longer sufficient.
This is the problem that Clipbook was built to solve.
Our rapid growth is fueled by the urgent need for tools that can help communications professionals keep pace with a 24/7 news cycle. This round of seed funding allows us to double down on our mission to empower PR and public affairs teams with the actionable media intelligence they need to drive strategic decisions and prove their value in the boardroom.
Why AI-Native Matters in Media Intelligence
The term "AI" is everywhere, but not all AI is created equal. Many legacy platforms have simply bolted on AI features to their existing infrastructure.
Clipbook is different. We are AI-native, which means our entire platform was built from the ground up to leverage the full power of artificial intelligence. This difference is what allows us to go beyond simple keyword tracking and deliver truly contextualized media intelligence, with a high degree of accuracy and precision.
It means our platform understands the difference between a mention of "apple" the fruit and "Apple" the company. It can analyze sentiment with incredible accuracy and even search for mentions of your brand within audio and video content, a capability that is becoming increasingly critical as podcasts and video platforms dominate the media landscape.
What's Next for Clipbook
This seed funding will enable us to invest aggressively in our product development and expand our team.
We are committed to building the most intelligent, intuitive, and indispensable platform for communications and public affairs professionals. Our focus is on enhancing our AI capabilities, expanding our data sources, and delivering even more powerful analytics and reporting features.
We are on a mission to empower every communications team to become a strategic driver of business growth, and this investment provides the fuel to make that vision a reality.
We invite you to follow our journey and see how leading teams are already using Clipbook to transform their media intelligence.
