ABOUT MINERVA

Minerva builds AI for marketing leaders. Our platform lets marketers focus on telling the story of their brand while AI agents handle the operationally intensive work: data management analytics campaign generation measurement and reporting.

Everything is built on Minervas proprietary consumer graph: an identity and attribute layer covering 270M U.S. consumers across 2000 through-time attributes. On top of it sit two agentic systems built in partnership with OpenAI: an Agentic Data Engineer that unifies and standardizes a brands first-party data in hours and an Agentic Data Scientist that trains robust targeting models at scale. Together our data and platform improve the quality of a brands first-party data lift campaign performance and give marketing teams their time back.

We work with leading consumer brands across categories including the NBA Capital One Hard Rock Stadium Group / Miami Dolphins Wander and Trust & Will. Weve raised $20M from The General Partnership 8VC Lingotto NBA Investments Topology Ventures Future Positive Background Capital and many others. Our team brings together operators and investors from Citadel Dentsu Bridgewater Meta Superintelligence and Lazard alongside researchers from Berkeley MIT Stanford and Cambridge.
