01b / strategy evolution
Founded Feb 2026, ~$50.6k all-time in five months at a high ~$137/sub average (pricing $79–$319 plus agency/enterprise demos). The playbook dogfoods its own thesis — "the brands that win in the AI search era… will be the ones who showed up consistently in the communities where AI learns from humans" — via Reddit presence and a GEO blog, layered with a 30% recurring affiliate program. Third-party footprint is still thin (no press, no numbered case studies); the "200+ marketing teams" claim is self-reported.
