When EJ Cho began his first company in 2018, he became aware of what is necessary for promoting a product. He was astonished to discover a market filled with various single-use tools.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very discouraging experience,\u201d Cho told TechCrunch. \u201cI had to learn and juggle all of these different tools. It felt as though it was a highly inefficient means of getting one’s word out to users. I have always been fascinated by the possibility of making marketing more efficient and effective.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cho (pictured above on the left) sat on this idea for a few years while working in engineering teams at companies such as Meta, Affirm, and Fast. After the advancements in generative AI in 2022, he realized he might be able to solve the marketing problems he had years earlier using AI.<\/p>\n

The result was Tofu<\/a>, an AI-driven B2B marketing platform that\u2019s designed to bring all of a company\u2019s potential marketing campaign into one place. The platform integrates with a marketing team\u2019s existing workflow, and tools like HubSpot and Salesforce, and uses AI to automatically modify marketing copy for different marketing channels and can personalize marketing content for different customer types.<\/p>\n

Cho, Tofu co-founder and CEO, said that while he encountered his drawbacks with marketing tools while building a consumer-facing company, he decided to concentrate on B2B marketing because it is significantly more text-heavy than B2C marketing, which made it a more natural fit for a generative AI approach.<\/p>\n

Tofu\u2019s team speculated more than 40 different CMOs before writing any code, Cho said, to figure out what their biggest issues were. The two areas that came up most consistently were that CMOs wanted to be able to personalize content across different market segments and to repurpose content for different channels. Cho said that\u2019s where Tofu focused first.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you really consider it, there\u2019s not that much difference between what you want to write for possibly an email versus what\u2019s for a landing page copy,\u201d Cho said. \u201cObviously there are these little nuances, but it\u2019s nothing that cannot be embedded under one tool.\u201d<\/p>\n

San Francisco-based Tofu was launched in late 2023 and has seen strong demand. The company boasts 12x revenue growth, although it\u2019s worth noting that it\u2019s only been in operation for a little over a year. Customers include DeepScribe, Check Point, and Wunderkind, among others.<\/p>\n

The company is announcing a $12 million Series A round led by SignalFire with participation from HubSpot Ventures, Tau Ventures, and Correlation Ventures, among a number of existing VC investors and angel investors.<\/p>\n

The use of AI in marketing is not a new concept \u2014 nor a post-itsconjures concept, either. Jasper<\/a>, which helps enterprise companies with AI-driven marketing, has been around for a decade and is worth more than $1.5 billion. Cordial<\/a>, another cross-channel marketing platform, has raised more than $70 million in venture funding.<\/p>\n

Cho acknowledged that the space is crowded but added that he thinks Tofu is in a good position because it touches so many different teams within a marketing department, compared to a single-use tool. That makes it stickier than some of Tofu\u2019s rivals, he said. The reality is that Tofu isn\u2019t simply a ChatGPT wrapper and offers an integrated all-inclusive solution, he added.<\/p>\n

Now that Tofu has closed its Series A round, the company is going to expand the product\u2019s capabilities as it works toward building a source of truth for marketing teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a noisy space,\u201d Cho said. \u201cThe way we position ourselves is to basically say we replace and can support the multiple use cases you\u2019re purchasing individual tools for with one platform. So that unified platform is a very appealing value proposition for customers, especially enterprise customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
