Hi Andi investors, Happy New Year!

We've hit the ground running in 2025. Here's where we stand:

📈 Metrics

  • Monthly Active Users: 520.7k (last 30 days - up 15% MoM)

  • AI Power Users: 11.7k (down 4% MoM)

  • Cash: $27.8k + $135k committed seedex + $710k cloud credits

  • Burn: $16k/mo (cash only - down 71% from $55k/mo)

  • Runway: 1.5 months (cash only), ~12 months operating credits

🤝 Asks

  1. We're raising a $1M seedex. Intros to investors who back capital-efficient, high-growth AI startups with proprietary tech would be huge.

  2. Join the Andi Plus waitlist and share it with your network.

  3. Book a call to help with pitch practice or user interviews.

👍 Highlights

  • AI Power User retention at D90 = 46.8%, up from 40.1%

  • Launched new localization engine, dramatically improving international search accuracy

  • Featured in Forbes as a notable new AI search player

  • Accepted into NVIDIA's Inception program, unlocking GPU resources and go-to-market support

👎 Lowlights

  • Seed extension raise interrupted by holidays

  • Paid plans rollout delayed due to focus on core infrastructure scaling

🔈 Shoutouts

  • AWS & Anthropic for ongoing support and additional credits

  • GenLabs (new investor) for inviting Andi to speak at AI conference

  • PostHog for $50k in analytics credits

  • NVIDIA for Inception program acceptance and $10k in credits

🎯 Goals for January

  1. Close $1M seedex

  2. Launch paid plans (targeting $20k MRR)

  3. Accelerate Trantora rollout to further reduce external API costs

  4. Soft launch Andi Creator Alliance (100 partner goal)

We're laser-focused on capital efficiency and sustainable growth. By slashing burn and optimizing our infrastructure, we're positioned to scale Andi to millions of users with minimal cash burn. Our AI-powered user base is growing steadily, and we're seeing strong retention numbers that rival mature products.

The Trantora rollout is our secret weapon. As we reduce reliance on expensive external APIs, our unit economics are improving dramatically. This positions us to capture massive market share in the AI search space while maintaining a lean operation.

We're at an inflection point. With your support in this seedex round, we can accelerate our growth, launch revenue-generating features, and leverage our position as the fast and most accurate, user-centric AI search engine.

Onwards and upwards!
