01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Memorable AI was an AI ad-creative optimization startup founded in 2021 by Camilo Fosco (a computer-vision and cognitive-science PhD from MIT) and Sebastian Acevedo. Its platform used machine learning and generative AI to analyze human cognitive reactions to visual content, predicting which images and videos would catch users' attention and drive engagement - effectively turning creative production into a measurable science. Backed by ad-industry heavyweights including MediaLink CEO Michael Kassan and former AppNexus CEO Brian O'Kelley, it raised $2.75 million in 2022 and built a client roster including Unilever, Mars, Georgia Pacific and ExxonMobil. On August 1, 2024 Reddit announced it had acquired the company - Reddit's first acquisition since its March IPO - taking on all of its employees (about 15 people) and its leadership team. Deal terms were not disclosed (Business Insider later reported a valuation just under $40 million with earnouts). Reddit integrated Memorable's creative intelligence into its ad stack to complement its contextual intelligence.
