Lexity is Advertising on Autopilot - a simple, affordable and effective service for small businesses, to increase their traffic and sales.
It’s simple because we have taken all complexity away from online marketing - everything is automated, and we only ask our customers the bare minimum. In fact, they spend less than 15 minutes a week managing Vurve.
It’s affordable because we can help customers with budgets as low as $200/month - in fact, we refuse to take on customers that want to spend more than $10,000/month.
It’s effective because we run ads and promote products across all ad channels - search, social, display, remarketing and shopping engines - optimizing constantly and automatically. Guaranteeing that our customers find the most sales, for the least marketing spend.
Investors include Spark Capital (Santo Politi), True Ventures (Jon Callaghan and Om Malik), 500 Startups (Dave McClure), Esther Dyson, Joshua Schachter, Vish Makhijani, Ash Patel, Gordon Chaffee and others.
