About Scope3

Scope3 is redefining advertising for an AI-first world, building the foundation for agentic advertising that connects brands with their audiences—wherever they are. Brand agents on the Scope3 platform drive measurably better media outcomes while enabling safe and sustainable growth. Our partners include leading advertisers, agencies, publishers, and platforms across the entire media ecosystem.

We’re a venture backed company of 65 folks distributed across the globe. We are fortunate to be led by an experienced leadership team, many of whom designed and engineered the digital advertising landscape as we know it today. The company secured $20M in Series B funding led by GV in Oct 2023 (additional investors include Venrock, Rucker Park, Room40 Ventures, and Craft Ventures), and we are thrilled to be the recipient of an additional round of $25M in Oct 2024. Scope3 has significant market traction with more than 150+ customers and is experiencing accelerated growth.

Scope3 is a fully remote company and largely asynchronous with teams across North America, Europe, and APAC.
