yumipop
Investor brief · confidential

AI agents are about to trade everything.

yumipop is the infrastructure they run on. Starting with advertising.

The shift

The agents do the trading now.

For thirty years, ads were bought and sold by people, on phones and trading desks. Now AI agents do it themselves: they find the inventory, negotiate the price, and close the deal, with no human in the loop.

This is already happening. The only question is what it runs on.

The gap

Everyone is building agents. Nobody built the rails they run on.

Every shift like this stands on a layer underneath it. The web had its protocols. Payments had Stripe. Agentic trading has a standard, a pile of announcements, and nothing solid to actually run a trade on.

A spec is not infrastructure.
Someone has to build the real thing.

What we built

Not another agent. The infrastructure they all run on.

Think Stripe, but for advertising.

And if you'd rather not build the agent either, we already did. Ready-made buying, selling, and pricing agents, live in minutes.

Who plugs in

Two sides. One neutral rail.

▲ DemandAdvertisers · agencies · DSPs

▼ SupplyPublishers & CTV · SSPs · networks

Each side brings or rents an agent; they meet in the middle.
Neither trusts the other's numbers — they trust ours.

Who plugs in · the detail

Everyone, and what yumipop is worth to them.

CustomerSideWhat yumipop is worth to them
Advertiser / brandDemandYour dollar reaches the media, and delivery is provable by default.
Agency / trading deskDemandTransparent, provable buying you can put in front of a client.
DSPDemandAgentic reach + real delivery truth, as an API you rent.
Publisher / CTVSupplyGet paid for what you actually delivered — and keep the whole price.
SSPSupplyProvable, agentic supply rails without being the thing buyers cut out.
Network / curatorSupplyTurn raw inventory into priced, sellable products automatically.
Agent builder / devBothShip an AI ad agent in an afternoon, on rails that already work.
Why us · the moat

Everyone owns a side. We own neither.

An SSP is owned by supply, a DSP by demand, an exchange takes a spread. We take no side and no cut of the media — so both sides trust our numbers.

The clearest proof:
every impression is confirmed exactly once, signed and verifiable live.

Why us · the detail

Four reasons — hardest to copy first.

1 · Neutral by designOwn neither side, take no cut of the media. A player that owns demand or supply structurally can't be neutral.
2 · Provable deliveryEvery impression confirmed exactly once, cryptographically signed and auditable — you can verify it live. Measurement built into the rail, not a costly add-on. You can't fork a track record.
3 · Priced like cloudMetered to the cent, no hidden spread — and we never hold your money.

Plus agent-native on a fast global edge — where the market is heading, before the incumbents.

Proof · the industry registry, measured live

We checked the whole field. Almost nothing answers.

10 / 32

agents on the official registry even answer a standard call. The rest are locked, half-built, or silent. The layer everyone assumes is already there mostly isn't. One of the ten that answers is ours, and it is live.

the premium TV supply the walled gardens don't own, and can't lock up.

Whoever builds the rails for agentic CTV owns the layer under every trade. No one has yet.

The wedge · where we land first

Why connected TV, and why us there.

Premium and fragmented

CTV is the fastest-growing ad channel worldwide and the least consolidated. No single pipe owns it, so neutral rails have room to win.

Global reach, warm start

The rails run on a worldwide edge, and our supply relationships already span the GCC, MENA, and beyond. We start warm, not cold, and we are tied to no single market.

Any format next

The infrastructure is format agnostic. CTV proves it; the same rails clear video, display, audio, and native, anywhere.

A concrete, winnable wedge into a market with no incumbent rails.

Why now

The standard is here. The window is not.

Real standard

AdCP, backed by Scope3, Brian O'Kelley, and 20+ companies. The first cross-platform buys are happening now.

Missing infrastructure

The standard says how agents talk. It runs zero trades. The layer underneath is unbuilt.

Picks and shovels

We don't bet on which agent wins. We're the rails they all run on, and we're already live.

The rails get built once.
The window is the next 12 months.

Why us, not them

Only a neutral player can build this.

Neutral, not conflicted

Scope3 and the SSPs all sell media or data. Buyers and sellers won't route trades through a rival. We take no side, and 0% of the media.

Live, not roadmap

The standard's authors are still writing docs. We're answering real calls today, one of the few that do.

Rails, not a bolt-on

An SSP can add an endpoint. It can't become neutral shared infrastructure without giving up its rake.

Neutrality is the moat. The incumbents can't copy it without cannibalizing themselves.

The technology is proven
$20k

A live buyer is running a $20,000 campaign on the same engine yumipop is built on, already proven in production on a sister platform. The build is done and de-risked. yumipop itself is pre-revenue by design; this raise puts the first partners on it.

Team

A builder and a closer. Clean slate.

Product & engineering

Technical founder

Built and runs the live exchange. A decade in ad infrastructure and large data platforms for major media groups. The product is finished and cheap to run.

Sales & partnerships

Commercial founder

Former VP at a tier-one SSP. Years working the exact rooms where CTV supply deals get signed, the selling this raise pays for.

Brand-new company, our own code and systems, cleanly separate from any prior venture. No technical debt, no financial debt.

Business model

Recurring software, with usage upside.

Land: subscriptions

Predictable recurring revenue from plans and managed agents. We earn even when volume is flat.

Expand: usage

Metered per block on top, growing automatically as the network trades more.

Both at ~90% gross margin. We charge for the software, never the media.

The raise · $1M SAFE

$1M to become the default infrastructure of agentic trading.

Hire
A senior seller working the industry room full time.
Show up
The events, travel, and dinners that sign supply partners.
Runway
12 months to turn live partners into the first paying flow.

In 12 months: 3 CTV partners live, 5+ agents trading, first recurring revenue.
The proof for a priced Series A, and the rails the shift runs on.
