Today we're announcing that Revnu has raised $3M. The round is led by [PXN Ventures](https://www.pxnventures.co.uk), with [Y Combinator](https://www.ycombinator.com), [identity.vc](https://identity.vc), [InvestorX](https://investorx.fund) and an amazing group of angels.

AI made building easy. Growth is still hard.

The part that decides whether a company survives, getting customers, is still unsolved. Most founders we talk to know what they should be doing: more outbound, more ads, showing up in ChatGPT answers. They just don't have the time, and they can't afford a growth team.

That's what Revnu does. It learns your business and tests every channel, and what works in one channel carries into the rest. You decide what waits for your yes, and every morning it tells you what moved.

We met at secondary school and have been building businesses together ever since. Every time, the product was the easy part. Finding customers was the hard part.

So we moved to San Francisco to build Revnu as part of Y Combinator. After finishing YC and raising our round, we came back to Manchester to hire amazing people and build the future of growth, where anyone can run a business that grows on its own.

Now based in Manchester, [we're hiring](/careers).

Thank you to all our investors who backed us and helped make this happen.
