I’m thrilled to announce that Instant has raised an $18 million Series A, led by Hummingbird Ventures, with continued backing from Blackbird, TEN13, and Reinventure Group. This funding values Instant at $100 million and sets the stage for rapid US expansion and even faster product innovation.

Built for Speed 🚀

I started Instant at 17 alongside CTO William Gao to fix retention marketing. Three years later, 500+ brands rely on Instant to drive over $56 million in incremental revenue, making us one of the fastest-growing eCommerce SaaS platforms.

We’re just getting started. Annual recurring revenue is skyrocketing by $1M+ every month. Leadings brands like Toys R Us, Peppermayo, Fayt the Label, and Eastside Golf are already winning with Instant, and we’re bringing that momentum to the US - scaling faster than ever.

Retention Marketing, Reimagined

98% of website visitors leave without buying. That’s a lot of wasted traffic. Instant flips the script, helping brands identify and convert those visitors into high-value customers through better email and SMS retention flows.

While most brands only recognize 5% of anonymous visitors, Instant identifies up to 50%, unlocking retention-driven revenue at a scale never seen before.

Series A: Fueling Instant’s US Takeover and Product Growth

With this funding, Instant is doubling down on the US market while accelerating product innovation.

“Startups are a velocity game, and Instant has momentum unlike anything we’ve seen before. We’re all in.”
