Kana Launches Autonomous Agents For Marketing Optimization

Kana, founded by former Google and Meta executives, emerged from stealth with $15 million in seed funding led by Benchmark to commercialize an agent-first marketing platform. The platform deploys configurable autonomous agents that integrate with Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Snowflake and BigQuery, and private beta tests showed ~30% time savings and 15-20% ROAS improvements.
