More
At Snappfood (Iran's DoorDash-equivalent food delivery marketplace, 5M+ MAU), I grew the vendor ad platform from 3% to 20% of total company revenue, shipped a subscription product 20% of active users adopted in 6 months, and built retention automation that cut vendor churn 32% with 54% vendor reactivation. Today at Elevate (Toronto), I run AI-powered acquisition systems: HubSpot + Claude AI agents + Zapier + n8n workflows for community partner programs, sponsorship pipelines, multi-touch attribution, and behavioral cohort segmentation. P&L ownership for ticket revenue. My take on marketplace growth: ad platforms in marketplaces aren't really ad platforms, they're supply-side revenue products. If vendor economics work, growth follows. Most companies optimize the wrong layer. Always happy to trade notes with people building at the intersection of marketplace growth, monetization, and AI-driven GTM.
