JustAI Raises $17 Million Series A, Eyes India Expansion

JustAI, an AI-native marketing platform, has raised more than $17 million in a Series A funding round led by Base10, with participation from Y Combinator and Peak XV Partners. The company was founded by Neha Mittal, who previously held growth and retention roles at X and Pinterest, alongside co-founder Jeff Hara. JustAI offers marketing teams a unified system designed to understand user context, generate campaigns, optimise decisions and continuously learn from results. As part of its growth strategy, the company plans to explore market opportunities in India.

  • JustAI raised $17M+ Series A led by Base10
  • Y Combinator and Peak XV Partners also participated
  • Founded by Neha Mittal (ex-X, Pinterest) and Jeff Hara
  • Plans to explore market opportunities in India

What JustAI's Series A signals for AI-native marketing

The round underscores growing investor appetite for platforms that combine campaign generation with continuous learning loops rather than treating each function as a separate tool. By pulling together context understanding, campaign generation, decision optimisation and ongoing learning into one system, JustAI is positioning itself against a fragmented martech stack that many marketing teams currently rely on. The involvement of Base10 as lead investor, alongside Y Combinator and Peak XV Partners, points to confidence in the founding team's background and the platform's approach to unifying these capabilities.

Strategic backers and the India opportunity

JustAI's backer list extends beyond its lead investors to include strategic individuals with direct operating experience in AI and marketing infrastructure: growth leaders from Anthropic and Chime, the CTO of HubSpot, and the founders of Eppo and Vapi. This mix of strategic capital suggests JustAI is building relationships with operators who understand both large-scale AI deployment and marketing technology adoption.

The company's stated plan to explore market opportunities in India comes at a moment when the country's marketing and advertising ecosystem is increasingly engaging with AI-native tools. Founders Neha Mittal and Jeff Hara have not detailed a specific India go-to-market timeline, but the intent to enter the market has been flagged as part of the broader growth strategy following this raise. For India's marketing and advertising community, JustAI's arrival would add another AI-native platform to a market already evaluating how automated campaign generation and optimisation tools fit into existing workflows.
