Create, launch, and optimize Facebook ads
We've built Plai to make managing digital ads across platforms like Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok simple and efficient. Our AI handles campaign creation, launching, and ongoing optimization so marketers can focus on strategy instead of tedious manual work.
We're based in Los Angeles but have a remote team spread across the US. After YC, we will continue to operate primarily from LA with a remote structure.
LA lets us access talent and early customers in a growing digital marketing scene while remote work gives us flexibility to recruit the right people wherever they are.
