News Summary

Montréal-based startup Glowtify has raised a $3.4-million CAD seed round to expand its marketing platform aimed at small e-commerce teams. The funding, co-led by Accelia Capital and Graphite Ventures, will be used to scale Glowtify’s go-to-market strategy and enhance its AI engineering capabilities in preparation for the holiday retail season. Despite challenging economic conditions in Canada, Glowtify has achieved $1 million CAD in revenue over the past year and aims to triple this figure next year. The startup, which originated as an internal project at Walter Interactive, focuses on automating marketing insights and boosting content engagement for teams of two to five people. Glowtify plans to integrate its AI agents with other platforms like Shopify and WordPress to provide a unified marketing solution. The company has grown its team to 25 and continues to target U.S. brands, where holiday spending is expected to rise.
