Affil.ai - S24 - Y Combinator Companies
Hey everyone, welcome back to Unpod! In today’s episode, we’re diving into a super interesting company funded by Y Combinator – Affil.ai. This company is working in the AI space, but with a unique focus on financial affiliate marketing.
So, what exactly is Affil.ai? They’ve built an AI-powered platform that helps financial companies like Capital One manage their affiliate marketing more efficiently. You know how websites like CNBC or Forbes promote credit cards and other financial products? That’s affiliate marketing, and it’s a huge deal – around 25% of new credit card sign-ups come through affiliates. But there’s a big problem in the financial sector: compliance.
Financial companies have to follow strict regulations when they work with affiliates, and right now, this process involves a lot of middlemen. It’s slow, expensive, and frustrating for both the companies and the affiliates. That’s where Affil.ai steps in. Their AI tools help automate the process of monitoring affiliate content and making sure it’s compliant with all the regulations. This cuts out the middlemen, saving time and money for everyone involved.
Affil.ai’s founders, John Ta and Vivek Olumbe, both come from strong tech and finance backgrounds. They saw firsthand how broken the affiliate marketing system was while working with financial companies, and they decided to do something about it. Their platform tracks thousands of affiliate pages and catches any issues with compliance before they become a problem. Plus, they’re making life easier for affiliates by offering better payouts and a smoother experience.
The big vision for Affil.ai is to become the go-to affiliate network for all financial institutions. They’re using AI to solve a major pain point in the industry, and it’ll be exciting to see how they grow in the coming years.
That’s all for today’s episode. Stay tuned to Unpod as we continue exploring more cutting-edge AI startups.
