Sequoia Just Backed This Founder To Replace Advertising Forever

E124 • Mar 26, 2024 • 51 mins

At just 12 years old, Sam Obletz decided to put his studies on the back burner and start a computer integration company with his friend. Today, he has come a long way from building computers and is now on a mission to change advertising forever. This is his multi-billion dollar plan.

Key Points

  • The current advertising system is broken due to high customer acquisition costs, complex attribution, and outdated tools like Google AdWords and Facebook, which are not effectively meeting the needs of marketers or consumers.
  • Claim seeks to revolutionize brand discovery by fostering authentic connections and experiences between consumers and brands, while prioritizing consumer data privacy and not monetizing user data.
  • Claim's growth strategy on college campuses involves a mix of ambassador programs, partnerships with student organizations, and engaging activities like games to encourage brand interaction, aiming to reach a critical mass of users before scaling further.
