I’m a former Amazon and Meta engineer who has spent way too much time launching products. My Co-Founder and CTO was employee #61 at Reddit and their first ads engineer. We are building Validated.

As a lifelong tinkerer, I have always been enamored by the potential reach behind Google and Meta. It always seems like, with just a few key strokes you can serve your product to millions of potential customers.

But it doesn't quite work that way.

Every year businesses deploy over $800B through such platforms. Despite the platforms having self-serve tooling, over 80% of ad spend flows through agencies.

And... It has to. Setup is complicated, the ideal ad is an ever-moving target. Once you find an ad that works, it will fatigue. Managing an ad account is a full-time job.

I've hired agencies, freelancers, and tried managing everything myself. None of it works. As soon as a person is in the loop performance becomes a function of their mood, attention, and every variance that makes people people.

The volume and frequency of iteration required to operate an ad account makes for a quality application of AI.

Validated is an early stage team based in San Francisco. Our early customers have scaled ad spend to over $100k/month profitably leveraging our tooling.

We are making revenue and are backed by top investors including Neo, JVentures, Expansion VC as well as some amazing angels investors including Austen Allred, Scott Banister, and many more

Below are some roles that we know we need.
