What Sprites does

Sprites AI automates customer acquisition and demand generation for entrepreneurs and growth teams. Our AI agent handles managing paid ad campaigns on Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok, and runs your SEO and AEO gameplan with a content engine - unlocking growth channels that normally require hiring multiple people or agencies. Teams using our platform acquire customers much faster and scale their growth funnel without the overhead of hiring large teams of specialists or hiring expensive agencies. The result: heads of marketing, SMBs, and founders can now scale revenue like they have a full marketing department. We're arming businesses with systematic customer acquisition run by AI- so they can focus on the important things that make their offering unique.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an AI agent that automates customer acquisition and demand generation.

The product is for entrepreneurs and growth teams who want to scale marketing without hiring multiple specialists or agencies.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company would continue to be based there after YC.

San Francisco is where we already live and work. It has the right talent, investor network, and customer base for a B2B AI marketing company. Staying here lets us move fast and connect with users and partners.
