About Sprites

Sprites is a proactive agent that achieves growth goals for businesses fully autonomously, starting with performance marketing. Today, Sprites manages $30M of annualized growth spend for 50+ businesses in a self-improving loop. Sprites has grown 5x this quarter with customers including Gameloft, Klarity Health, Hyperice, and leading AI labs. You give it a growth goal and a budget - like "Book me demoes with PMs at AI startups for up to $500 per demo" or "Get me trial sign ups from UGC video creators, up to $50 per sign up". It does the work. Every week it gets better at your business. Teams use it instead of hiring an agency or a growth team.
