The company

Paramark helps Marketers optimize their spend across any number of channels and programs. There are proven scientific ways to do this, but they are poorly understood and practiced by only a tiny fraction of teams. Companies waste millions on campaigns that don’t work, while failing to invest in critical long-term initiatives whose impact is harder to measure. Most are sorely lacking in both measurement and experimentation capability.
We’re fixing this by creating a system of record that teams use to understand and forecast the impact of their Marketing, as well as to experiment with new ideas. The opportunity is huge: 300k+ mid-market businesses worldwide, spending $1T on marketing annually, with a large chunk of that going to waste. Our target customer spends between $10M and $100M on Marketing annually.
We founded the company in 2023 and are seeing strong traction. Our customers include brands like Square, Chime, Ramp, Haus Labs, and dozens more.
We work 3-5 days a week from our office in San Francisco. We thrive on in-person collaboration, but we also want to strike the right balance and give everyone the flexibility they need.
We’ve raised $8M from investors like Greylock and have several prominent CXO-level advisors and angels from companies like Open AI, Dropbox, Salesforce, PagerDuty, Miro, Webflow, Asana, Otter.ai, and Gong.io.
