What Blanket does

Blanket is a sales development automation platform that automates the early stages of B2B sales prospecting and outreach. The company targets B2B sales teams seeking to scale lead generation without expanding SDR headcount, addressing pain points around manual prospecting, email deliverability, personalization at scale, and consistent lead qualification. The platform is structured as five integrated modules: Prospecting (automated discovery and enrichment of decision makers based on user-defined ICP and persona filters), Managed Deliverability (email infrastructure maintained in an isolated environment to preserve inbox placement), Personalized Emails (a 12-template engine that selects and sends variants based on contact behavior), Personalized Landing Pages (per-campaign-step dynamic pages with unique URLs and messaging), and Engagement Tracking (journey-level monitoring that drives next-best-step decisions and pauses automation for human intervention). The underlying technology combines data enrichment, rule-based behavioral orchestration, and what the company describes as AI-powered automation, though specific AI implementations, proprietary models, or third-party dependencies are not disclosed.

The business model is B2B SaaS on a recurring subscription basis, though pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is product-led growth with a qualification-first onboarding funnel: prospects are routed through a 'Find out if it works for you' screening step before full access, and the company explicitly states the product does not work for everyone yet. Distribution is direct via blanket.ai with no disclosed integrations, partnerships, or API. The company is privately held, based in Miami, founded in 2016, operates with 1-10 employees, and is led by cofounder and CEO Alex Nucci. Total disclosed funding is approximately $3.54 million across four rounds between 2018 and 2020, with investors including ANIMO Ventures (lead across multiple rounds), Slow Ventures, Revolution's Rise of the Rest Seed Fund, LAUNCH, Miami Angels, Chingona Ventures, ID8 Investments, Pareto Holdings, and Quixotic Ventures. No funding activity has been disclosed since November 2020, and no named customer logos or revenue figures are publicly available.
