That year, my friend's project had just launched, the budget was tight, the team was working themselves to the bone, the product was decent, but the data just wouldn't budge.
I remember one time clearly, we invested $50,000 in KOL promotion, and ended up with 300 users—all of whom were just looking for freebies.
The boss smashed a cup in frustration and shouted:
"No matter how good the product is, if no one sees it, it’s still going to fail!"
Later, they started to "roll for growth," frantically experimenting with various AI content tools, distribution platforms, and overseas KOC collaborations...
But at the end of the day, this isn't something that can be solved by just one tool.
What we need is an AI growth system that can think and close the loop.
But it wasn't until I saw XerpaAI @XerpaAI that I realized:
"There are indeed people seriously working on this, and they’re doing it quite well."
Recently, a rather unremarkable funding news caught my attention—XerpaAI completed a $6 million seed round led by UFLY Capital behind @UXLINKofficial.
This is not just an ordinary AI narrative👇
So what exactly is XerpaAI?
In a nutshell, it is the "AppLovin of the AI era."
What does that mean? AppLovin was the strongest growth hub in the mobile internet era, valued at over a hundred billion, built on smart ad distribution and programmatic marketing systems.
XerpaAI is its next-generation successor—focusing on AI and Social as a growth intelligence system.
It doesn’t chase big models or hype Infra, but tackles a headache that all Web3/AI projects face: growth.
The name itself has meaning: Xerpa = Sherpa guide.
The market is like Mount Everest; no matter how good the product is, if no one uses it, it’s all in vain.
XerpaAI aims to be that "AI guide" that can lead projects to the summit:
Using AI to help you write content → Precisely delivering that content to KOLs/KOCs who can bring in users → Continuously optimizing strategies based on feedback.
They have a special term for this closed loop:
AGA: AI Growth Agent.
This is not "slogan-style marketing," but a results-oriented growth machine.
So who can do this?
The founder is not a talker; he’s a serial entrepreneur who has previously managed product growth for over a hundred million users, and now he’s "productizing" this approach.
He’s also an LP at UFLY Capital, investing in himself, betting that this system can work.
So what’s the relationship with UXLINK?
It’s actually quite clever.
Legally, they are independent companies, but their businesses are deeply intertwined.
XerpaAI provides growth services to UXLINK and ecological projects.
UXLINK also feeds user data and social networks back to XerpaAI.
You can think of it this way:
UXLINK is the infrastructure, and XerpaAI is the core application on top.
It’s like the ecological symbiotic relationship between Ethereum + Circle / Coinbase.
Currently, 80% of XerpaAI's clients come from Web3.
In this industry that requires "market education," all innovations revolve around growth. Many projects spend millions on marketing, find agents, and burn money on ads, only to have users come and go, wasting money without any growth.
XerpaAI provides a closed-loop, systematic, results-oriented growth solution.
It’s not about shooting blindly; it’s about equipping a scope, finding the right target, and hitting it in one shot.
