Platform Market: NY AI Startup Moonshot AI Rebrands to Shuttlebase After Name Clash
New York-based AI startup Moonshot AI, founded in 2023 by Aviv Frenkel and Evyatar Segal, has rebranded to Shuttlebase following a name collision with China-based Moonshot AI, the company behind Kimi AI models. The rebrand aims to eliminate confusion as the Chinese firm expands globally. Shuttlebase is an autonomous website optimization platform for eCommerce, which analyzes shopper behavior, identifies opportunities, designs and tests changes, and deploys winners automatically. The platform has generated millions in revenue uplift for brands including Credo Beauty, DefenAge, Kopari, Peter Thomas Roth, and P&G's Farmacy Beauty. Shuttlebase has raised $10 million in seed funding from Mighty Capital, Oceans Ventures, Uncorrelated, Garuda Ventures, and Almaz Capital. The company is headquartered in New York City.
Rebranding of a startup in the eCommerce optimization space; relevant to AdTech/MarTech but not industry-shifting.
