## About

Based in the US, Pie Tech, Inc. specializes in analyzing custom AI-driven marketing solutions aimed at enhancing visibility and customer engagement for local businesses, utilizing innovative technology to optimize their marketing efforts. Founded in 2024, Pie Tech, Inc. is headquartered in New York, US. The company provides AI-driven marketing solutions specifically for local businesses. The company was co-founded by Syed Ali and Akhil Mantripragada. In June 2026, Pie Tech, Inc. raised USD 22.22 million in series A funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Capital One Ventures, Commerce Ventures, Cambrian Ventures, WEX Venture Capital, F-Prime Capital, Restive Ventures, and SciFi VC.

Pie Tech Inc. offers an AI-driven marketing platform designed specifically for local businesses, focusing on enhancing visibility and customer engagement through three main products: AI Search, Growth, and Front Desk. The AI Search product helps businesses appear as the top answer in AI-driven search inquiries, optimizing for local visibility as potential customers utilize platforms like ChatGPT for their questions. The Growth product ensures businesses are prominently featured on hyperlocal channels, effectively placing them in front of customers when they need services close to them. Finally, the AI Front Desk product operates as a virtual assistant, providing 24/7 customer interaction by answering inquiries and managing reservations in a manner consistent with the business's voice. Pie’s solutions cater primarily to small and medium-sized businesses across various sectors, including retail and service industries, actively targeting markets throughout the United States.

Pie Tech Inc. operates on a subscription-based revenue model, providing businesses with access to its suite of products without long-term contracts. The service structure allows clients to try Pie for free for the first month, eliminating upfront financial commitments and facilitating engagement with the platform. Customers can then subscribe to ongoing services which include features from AI Search, Growth, and Front Desk, ensuring comprehensive marketing support tailored to local business needs. The firm emphasizes delivering measurable results, with many clients reportedly experiencing significant increases in customer inquiries and sales after initial engagement with the platform. The company’s pricing plans reflect the value added through its proprietary tools designed to optimize local market visibility and customer interactions.

The company will use the June 2026 funding to scale its platform distribution model, deepen its AI-driven product suite, and expand its team as it works to build growth infrastructure for small businesses.
