Last week in Cambridge, @Leoshen8386 and I co-hosted a @velocityeleven private Bio x AI dinner with @ProtagonistXYZ and @njmalone and a stellar set of student founders and researchers! Biotech and the life sciences have rarely been driven by young people, so it was especially inspiring to see how everyone is pushing the bounds of fields from drug discovery and delivery to regenerative medicine or R&D data infrastructure.

Today, @ltv_ai is generally available. We built LTV ai after working with enterprise brands like Sur La Table, J. Jill and One Kings Lane, where we saw firsthand how operationally intensive email programs had become. Brands were paying six figures for their ESP, then 3x that on designers, analysts, and campaign managers to actually operate it. The math was broken. LTV ai is the first AI-native email marketing platform that thinks and executes like your best marketer - not just sending emails, but doing the strategic work too. Tell LTV what you want to achieve, and it: → Proactively segments audiences by purchase behavior, discount sensitivity etc → Identifies winning angles based on what's working across your industry → Designs on-brand emails in both image and text formats → Optimizes for revenue automatically Rather than spending each day buried in manual execution, marketers using LTV ai operate as strategic orchestrators - setting direction while the platform handles the day-to-day thinking and execution. Brands like The Sill, Sur La Table, J. Jill, and Spongelle are seeing 70-80% reduction in CRM operating costs and 13-22% lift in email revenue. Today we're launching general availability for all brands. Check out the platform at LTV(.)ai and send your first 100,000 emails for just $100. As part of our launch, we've built a competitive intelligence agent that dissects your top 5 competitors' email programs - winning angles, exact campaigns to test, and actionable insights. Comment "LTV" below and we'll send you access.
