Boston-based Vizit, a cutting-edge AI company that helps brands engage their customers with content that truly converts, has announced a $25 million Series B funding. This latest investment brings the company’s total funding to over $40 million, positioning them as a leader in the visual content optimization space.
“At Vizit, we believe the future of content is about more than creation – it’s about connection. With our patented Visual AI technology and platform, brands can now see the world through their audience’s eyes using Vizit’s proprietary Audience Lenses, creating not just content, but experiences that deeply resonate.” said Jehan Hamedi, Founder & CEO of Vizit. “This is the dawn of Intuitive AI, where machines don’t just generate content – they understand and react to it.”
According to the company, Vizit’s patented “intuitive AI” technology interprets, measures, and predicts consumers’ visual preferences.
The startup says that, with its Visual AI Lenses, ecommerce professionals can use AI models that develop synthetic human preferences — based on the behavioral characteristics of specific audience segments — to help them “deliver personalized, high-converting content that resonates deeply with consumers.”
Key features of Vizit’s platform include AI-powered scoring of brand visual performance, Audience response simulation, Competitor content comparison, Conversion rate optimization, and Media spend effectiveness improvement.
Vizit’s client roster boasts industry giants such as Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Nestle, L’Oréal, Mars. These industry giants use Vizit’s AI technology to assess and improve their visual content performance. The platform allows them to simulate audience responses to images and videos, significantly reducing production time.
As the commercial image and video production continues to explode, with an estimated 195+ billion assets created annually, Vizit is well-positioned to help brands navigate this visual content deluge.
“We see a lot of AI companies, but Vizit stands out as a unique AI-native company with significant traction, a blue-chip customer list, a massive data moat, and patented Visual AI technology. They are leading the creation of an entirely new category, Visual AI Intelligence, and have a massive total addressable market,” said Brian Langner, Managing Director of Industry Ventures.

What were the slides in the Vizit pitch deck?
Browse the exact example slides from the pitch deck that Vizit used to raise a $25M round led by Industry Ventures.
1. Problem Slide
Is there a successful startup that doesn’t solve a problem? If you look at the biggest startups of the past decade, you’ll find that they solve some of the most basic problems individuals or businesses face. Airbnb solved the difficulty finding affordable and unique accommodation options. SpaceX solved the high cost of space exploration. Stripe solved the complexity in online payment processing for businesses.
Vizit is doing just that, and the problem slides drive home this point in a succinct and persuasive manenr. The slide argues that Vizit is solving an unserved gap in the market, which has led to companies being forced to spend billions of dollars to “choose the right words to attract and convert customers”.
The use of images on the slide is really intriguing. Nothing better illustrates how businesses struggle with word choice and creative than the jumbled product titles and long descriptions on Amazon. The thoughtful use of color and font weight also helps in guide the reader’s eyes to the key points in the slide.
2. Traction Slide
A credible pitch deck not only captures interest but also conveys a sense of validation and trustworthiness: essential qualities to peak an investors interest to learn more. And there is arguably no better way to build credibility than simply showing your current customer base, esp. if they include household names and Fortune 100 companies (like Vizit).
Vizit customers include some of the biggest industry giants in the world and the traction slide proudly showcases the logo of these customers. This alone would be enough to create a strong case for Vizit’s traction, but the slide goes one step further and incorporates the aspects of differentiation / moat by emphasizing their “first mover advantage” in the visual analytics category.
All things considered, it’s an excellent traction slide that conveys the idea clearly without adding complexity — the only potential improvement would be to add a customer testimonial (although that may overcrowd the slide in its current form).
3. Team Slide
According to a recent study by Docsend, investors are now spending more time on the team slide. Additionally, investors are not only just zeroing in on not just what founders have accomplished, but who is behind the startup and why they’re the right team to solve the problem.
As such, it is advisable to craft a story around your team that goes beyond the basics. It’s not that credentials don’t matter anymore (they are still essential); but more so that investors are looking for a narrative that ties the team’s background to the startup’s mission and vision.
We see a great example of binding the team background to the startup’s mission in the Vizit pitch deck’s team slide. The slide goes beyond the usual team biographies and explains how various team members have “worked together”, “sold AI startups”, and “scaled previous companies”. These facts give a comprehensive overview of teams’ past success and explain why Vizit’s leadership team is the right ones to bet on.
