@allisonbraley @tejasmanohar @HightouchData On it!

@tejasmanohar @HightouchData Pls redo every billboard in SF, thx

every marketer I talk to is banging their heads against a wall right now "how do I get AI ads to not be... so bad?" we just launched Ad Studio @HightouchData ✅ we know your brand ✅ we know your existing creative ✅ we know what works in your ads ps: you can edit without re-prompting

If you told me 4 years ago Hightouch would have an advanced content editor, I would've called you insane. Yet here we are...

Most AI tools produce flat, uneditable rasters that you have to redo anyway. We just launched Ad Studio at @HightouchData. Every ad is built in layers, pulls from your asset libraries, and exports back to Figma in one click AI creative with craft: hightouch.com/ad-studio

From a team of 4 and ~$40K ARR to now ~400 and $100M ARR, it's been remarkable to watch @tejasmanohar @kashgupta_ & @joshwget build @HightouchData. The definition of grit, creativity and maniacal execution. Congrats on the milestone team! techcrunch.com/2026/04/15/hig…

.@HightouchData launched an AI ad creation tool 20 months ago and has added $70M in ARR since, bringing them to $100M total. Brands like Domino's, Spotify, PetSmart, and Chime use it to build personalized campaigns without design teams or agencies. techcrunch.com/2026/04/15/hig…

Hightouch reaches $100M ARR fueled by marketing tools powered by AI techcrunch.com/2026/04/15/hig…

Congrats @HightouchData team for the successful entry into the AI marketing space. Excellent example of how to build a compound startup starting with a single product. 🚀

@destraynor Re-accelerating growth at scale. This is rarified air!

It's been a while since we've done one of these. The Customer Agent is the future of our space; a single seamless agent who knows everything about both your business, and your customers. It makes perfect experiences possible. That is what we're building. Come join us!

We did a tender for our Series C last year and this should be more common! If you have the opportunity, go out of the way to give your team real liquidity pre-exit. It's one of the most meaningful ways you can give back to the people who got you here and is highly motivating

Content (!!) in Hightouch is happening. I'm really pumped about this new feature 🔥 The core idea is something we call "content assembly" Ask for a campaign and we’ll make it using all your existing creative across your tools like Figma, Adobe, Dropbox, etc.

@tejasmanohar @figma + Hightouch = 💪💪💪

A few months ago, we launched Cursor for Marketing Marketing looks simple from the outside. It's not. It's a mess of complex, multi-step, long-running tasks across dozens of tools & data sets. To make this work, we had to make deep investments in agentic delegation and context engineering. Check it out -> amplifypartners.com/blog-posts/how…

Guy with a Don't Tread On Me t-shirt who likes to open carry an AR-15 to the strip mall where he tries to pick up women: well, I mean, he had a gun

January is almost over and there have only been 3 homicides in Minneapolis so far this year 2 of them were committed by ICE agents.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti. White male born in Illinois. University of Minnesota graduate, medical professional employed at the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs, avid outdoorsman & dog dad, legal gun owner with no criminal record. Murdered by his government 01/24/2026

To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets. They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.

Okay so, 1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution 2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents 3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen 4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.
