A year ago, Marloo had no product. Today, more than 650 advisory firms across seven countries are running on it. Not a single paid user has churned to a competitor. One adviser, 25 years into his career, told the team: your product has actually changed my life 🌟 The last time we heard customers say that about an early-stage product was Halter's Series B. We know how that one is going. Today we're announcing that Blackbird is leading Marloo's US$10M Series Seed Extension - doubling down on the bet we made eighteen months ago, when Hardy Michel and Shakeel Lala had two founders, no idea, and an unusual amount of discipline about how to find the right one. Samantha on why customer love is the real moat in the age of AI, what Hardy and Shak realised about financial advice that almost no one else has, and how the most defensible thing you can build is a product your customers help you build.
