It's about time for us to re-discover the craft of marketing. When I switched from engineering to growth, I was so frustrated by how much manual work and menial execution got in the way between great ideas and bringing them into the world. It felt like we were always just a few steps away from "solving marketing" for good. I'm excited to announce, for my first post on X, what we've been working days and nights on. Hundreds of companies now use Ploy to power not just their sites, but are transforming how they go to market. Check us out at ploy.ai
AI is making marketers lazy. So we made the website do the work instead. Today, we're launching @ployai: the all-in-one marketing platform that turns your website into your hardest working employee. And we're coming out of stealth today with a $27M seed led by @ycombinator and
@DarayuthH @ployai @ycombinator that's a good Q and is something that only Ploy can do well. We slurp your site, which is the source of truth (fonts, design tokens, images, etc). we then rebuild pages using the same code. which means we can take a screenshot of that page for any asset generation
This is an incredibly exciting company. H/t @bryantchou and his whole team 🙌
Back in 2013, when I was starting Cover, I was introduced to @bryantchou. I was so impressed by his technical chops and raw intensity that I tried to hire him as our founding engineer. He politely declined to start his own new company instead, called Webflow. But we stayed in
Every so often, we have the chance to meet a founder who is viscerally pursuing their life's work. @bryantchou is one of those rare people. Helping businesses tell their story on the internet and grow is a problem space he's spent more than a decade obsessed with. Today, he's announcing @ployai, the purest expression yet of that obsession. We feel very fortunate that @firstround is his first partner.

Ploy turns your website into your hardest-working growth channel. It starts by slurping your existing site to learn your design system, components, and brand, so everything it makes looks like you from day one. From there, Ploy designs the pages, writes the copy, launches the campaigns, optimizes what's working, and syncs it all back to your CRM — continuously, in the background. For marketers, your website is the one surface you fully own, and the hub that connects every growth channel. But too often, your best web ideas mean coordinating across design, copy, and dev, and waiting in line behind other priorities. Ploy fixes that. It turns your website into a growth engine that runs itself. Marketers get to focus on the part that actually matters: the story, the positioning, and the customers. One you, infinite Ploy.

And we're coming out of stealth today with a $27M seed led by @ycombinator and @firstround. I spent 12 years at Webflow as the founding CTO where I built the product, but also started our marketing and sales teams that drove our fastest periods of growth. That experience made one thing obvious: the website is the center of your business. And it's only more important in the age of AI. Foundation model apps can generate assets. Point solutions can optimize pieces of the funnel. But nothing runs the whole growth system: your site, brand, CMS, CRM, campaigns, analytics, SEO, AEO, and customer data all working together. Until now. Teams at @hex_tech and @clay_run, and growth agencies like Tonik and TNT Growth, are already powering sites on Ploy. Hex is generating on-brand ABM pages at scale, Clay is using its data to power a programmatic SEO engine, and TNT Growth is spinning up a landing page for each of their clients’ ads. Wake up every morning with a report from Ploy - with what it did, and what it wants to do next. Approve it. Ship it. Or be lazy and just watch it cook.

Back in 2013, when I was starting Cover, I was introduced to @bryantchou. I was so impressed by his technical chops and raw intensity that I tried to hire him as our founding engineer. He politely declined to start his own new company instead, called Webflow. But we stayed in touch. I followed his journey at Webflow for the next 12 years, watching him flourish as co-founder and CTO — but also the person who ran sales and marketing during the company’s fastest period of growth. He’s one of those rare engineers who understands the product, the customer and business equally. Today, Bryant is launching Ploy (@ployai), and @firstround is proud to be backing it alongside Y Combinator. Most marketing teams spend more time on operations than creative execution. Bryant felt this pain acutely at Webflow, which some marketers call “measureship” — stitching tools together, building dashboards, chasing attribution. So much of the craft of marketing gets buried in this overhead. Ploy is a marketing platform that treats your website as the hub and all your growth channels as spokes. Agents handle the work end-to-end: designing pages, writing copy and running campaigns. It creates a loop that brings your static website to life, learning from traffic and acting on signals in real time. As agents browse on behalf of users and LLMs summarize your content, your website is the source of truth they pull from. It matters more in the AI era, not less. Hex is already using Ploy for account-based marketing, scaling the creation of personalized landing pages without waiting on engineering. Clay uses Ploy to run programmatic SEO, turning one-off builds into a content engine. Congrats to Bryant and the whole Ploy team. Insanely excited to see where this goes.

The demand for clean, always-on power is exploding, and the grid can't keep up.

They're building systems to deliver gigawatts of zero-emission power faster and cheaper than conventional sources. Today, they're announcing $54M Series A funding. At @firstround, we're excited to have backed Andrew Redd and the team since the pre-seed. Huge congrats!
