Brooklyn, New York, March 9, 2026 — Mega announced that it has secured $11.5 million in Series A funding to scale what it describes as a full-service AI growth platform for SMBs. The company said the platform is intended to replace parts of the traditional agency model by combining automation, software, and human oversight to manage marketing execution.
The Series A round was led by Goodwater Capital, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Atreides, SignalFire, and Kearny Jackson. The round also included WNBA players Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart, Kelsey Plum, and Nneka Ogwumike.
Mega said the platform is aimed at addressing structural challenges faced by SMBs in digital marketing. These businesses are expected to compete across search, paid advertising, websites, and newer AI-driven channels, while often working with limited budgets and inconsistent external support. The company noted that agency services can be costly for smaller businesses, while many AI marketing tools still require users to learn and manage complex systems directly.
According to the company, Mega’s core product is designed for businesses with annual revenue of roughly $500,000 to $20 million. The platform uses specialized AI agents to support SEO, GEO, paid advertising, and website management. Mega said the system is designed to plan, execute, optimize, and report on campaigns on an ongoing basis, including in cases where customers are minimally involved in day-to-day operation.
Mega said its market entry developed indirectly. During the Covid period, the founding team was building a video game company and began creating internal AI tools after the launch of ChatGPT to improve its own growth efforts. The company said those tools helped increase organic traffic by 100 times and reduce paid customer acquisition costs by 80%. According to Mega, interest from other founders who were shown the tools led to the development of the current business.
Lucas Pellan, co-founder of Mega, said the company focused on building a system that performs marketing tasks directly rather than requiring business owners to operate another AI interface. He said the goal was to use AI agents to carry out work end to end while continuously improving performance.
Mega said about 55% of its work is fully automated, 35% is mostly automated with human oversight, and 10% is handled end to end by humans. The company said this hybrid structure is intended to support scalability while maintaining quality control. It added that campaign data is used to improve creative generation, audience targeting, bidding strategies, and optimization across its customer base.
The company also cited its own growth as an indicator of market demand, stating that it grew from zero to $10 million in revenue in 10 months. Mega said its customers include businesses in home services, legal services, healthcare, ecommerce, and software.
Mega shared several customer case studies. In one example, the company said it helped a Texas medical spa increase search traffic by 174 times. It also said a personal injury law firm increased search visibility by 243 times and achieved top-three rankings for key search terms. In another case, Mega said a direct-to-consumer health brand generated $120,000 in direct website revenue and outperformed its Amazon marketplace sales without raising ad spending. The company said that, on average, its customers grow 20% faster. Darin Chase, a home services business owner, said Mega helped provide a more predictable flow of leads and reduced the time his business spent managing Facebook marketing internally.
Mega said the SMB marketing sector remains large and underserved. Although thousands of agencies operate across North America, many smaller businesses continue to face inconsistent lead generation, weak returns on marketing spend, and limited visibility into campaign performance. The company argued that rising competition and costs across digital channels are widening that gap.
Vivek Subramanian, Partner and Chief Product Officer at Goodwater Capital, said the company sees Mega as part of a broader shift in SMB marketing toward systems focused on measurable and repeatable outcomes rather than service effort alone. He said Goodwater is supporting Mega as it builds an AI-native growth platform for businesses.
Looking ahead, Mega said it plans to expand beyond SEO, advertising, and website management into a broader set of revenue-generation functions for SMBs. These areas include email, outbound marketing, organic social, lead qualification, sales operations, and reporting. The company said its long-term goal is to provide a more automated growth infrastructure for small and mid-sized businesses.
