Dutch startup Aizy just hit €2M ARR in 6 months with a €22M valuation by replacing performance marketing agencies with AI automation, serving 150+ SMEs across retail, e-commerce, and automotive sectors. The company's clients saw 36% average sales increases by paying flat SaaS fees instead of agency retainers, fundamentally disrupting the billable-hours model.
