Miracly Launches with €1.8M to Automate AI Marketing
Miracly, an AI-powered marketing platform developed by The Wild Ventures (known for the home decor brand Wild Palace), has launched following a €1.8 million pre-seed funding round. The round was led by Beenext Ventures and Lotus, with participation from a Swedish family office and angel investors including Stefan Lindeberg (Creandum founder), Alex Bouaziz (Deel CEO), and Thomas Ekman (former CEO of Axel Johnson). Operating from Sweden and Singapore, Miracly offers a platform that combines generative engine optimization (GEO), marketing analytics, and automated execution. It helps businesses monitor and improve their visibility in AI search engines, addressing declining organic traffic and rising performance marketing costs. Key features include the AI agent 'Mira' for recommendations, 'Miracly Goals' for collaborative objective tracking, and a revenue recovery agent that converts customer service insights into opportunities. The platform already counts Dreams, Acclime, and Pixi Beauty among its clients across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Funding and launch of a new AI marketing platform in the emerging GEO space, indicating market growth but not a major industry shift.

Minerva Launches AI Marketing Platform with $20M
Minerva publicly launched an AI platform for consumer marketing on June 10, 2026, backed by $20 million in funding from investors including The General Partnership, 8VC, Lingotto Innovation, Topology Ventures and NBA Investments. The platform unifies fragmented first-party customer data, enriches it with a proprietary identity graph of more than 1,000 attributes, and runs end-to-end marketing workflows using AI agents within 24 hours of onboarding. Minerva has partnered with OpenAI to build two agentic workstreams—an Agentic Data Engineer and an Agentic Data Scientist—that use frontier models (e.g., GPT-5.5) to automate data engineering and model creation via natural-language prompts. Founded by Jackson Engles, Daniel Saedi and Matthew Joseph, Minerva reports early results (paid media ROAS improved 3.4x; direct mail MQL rates 2.5x) and says it has signed roughly three dozen customers, including the NBA, Juicebox, Luxury Presence, Trust & Will and Wander. New capital will expand engineering, research and go-to-market efforts.
