I've known Daniel A. Saedi for ~25 years, since before the fancy A. in his name, and have wanted to invest in him for as much of that that I've known investing was a thing.

Finally got to do it with Minerva, which you should use if you want customers.

AI can now read your customers' minds.

We raised a $20M Series A lead by 8VC & Lingotto to build this.

Introducing Minerva, built in collaboration with OpenAI:

@TheRealDanSaedi Y’all have data on every American. Congrats on becoming the real Palantir. 👏

Meta knows everything about your customer, but they keep that data for themselves.

Minerva democratizes data on over 270M+ customers built by Wall Street Quants over the last 3 years

When a customer searches for “luxury handbags”, our agents know and find that customer.

Right now, you send the same email to:

- A 24-year-old woman living in Soho - A 67-year-old woman in Boise, Idaho

Minerva knows the difference.

So every email, ad, and text can speak to the actual person, not some generic segment.

We already work with Wander, Trust & Will, and Luxury Presence to improve ROAS and response rates by up to 3.4x.

With Minerva, you can run AI-powered segmentation and hyperpersonalized campaign actions across your data, but ONLY within the exact permissions you set.

@TheRealDanSaedi I feel like ads already feel hyper-specific (“our phones are listening to us!”). this is scary good.

I’d love to know what the actual cost of deployment is?

How much does Minerva save you compared to a traditional broad campaign?

@TheRealDanSaedi You gotta launch merch.

It would go crazy and no one would even know why.

@kanavtwt apollo is a contact database. hightouch is a pipe. minerva is the whole stack above both - the consumer context, the engine that activates it, and the agents that run the marketing.

you'd stitch both of them together plus hire a team to approximate one slice of what we do.
