JustAI raises $17M Series A from Base10, YC, Peak XV for AI-native marketing platform
JustAI, an AI-native marketing platform founded by Neha Mittal and Jeff Hara, has raised over $17 million in a Series A round led by Base10, with participation from Y Combinator and Peak XV Partners. Strategic investors include growth leaders from Anthropic, the CTO of HubSpot, and founders of Eppo and Vapi. The funding will expand engineering and go-to-market teams, strengthen agentic infrastructure, and extend the platform beyond consumer-focused companies into e-commerce and B2B marketing. JustAI also plans to explore market opportunities in India over the next 12 months.
The raise fits the recurring pattern of AI-native horizontal SaaS displacing legacy marketing tool stacks—not by adding another dashboard, but by consolidating fragmented workflows into a unified agentic layer. JustAI’s pitch—strategy, creative, decisioning, and data agents operating autonomously—mirrors a broader substrate shift: marketing teams are buying fewer point solutions and instead adopting AI platforms that learn from outcomes and automate campaign execution. The participation of a HubSpot executive signals incumbents are watching this space closely.
The strategic backing from an Anthropic growth leader is noteworthy given the ongoing US-China cloud AI competition and the fact that JustAI is exploring India expansion. While $17M is modest in the capital-compression era of AI, the roster of strategic investors—YC, Peak XV, and product leaders from enterprise SaaS—suggests JustAI is positioning itself as an infrastructure layer for marketing decisioning, not merely a workflow tool. The real test will be whether enterprises trust autonomous marketing agents with budget allocation, campaign generation, and audience targeting without human oversight.
