PRESS RELEASE — Journify, a global provider of Conversion API (CAPI) and Composable Customer Data Platform (CCDP), has secured $4 million in funding. The round was led by global VC firm Silicon Badia, with participation from RZM and other strategic investors. This investment fuels Journify’s mission to empower brands with ethical, data-driven marketing solutions that drive precise audience engagement and measurable growth.
With customer acquisition costs (CAC) surging 200% over the past decade and digital marketing shifting toward privacy-first solutions, brands face increasing pressure to maximize data efficiency. Journify’s AI-powered SaaS platform captures, unifies, and activates first-party data in real time, boosting ROAS, optimizing marketing performance, and future-proofing data infrastructure for sustainable growth.
Journify is redefining marketing across web, mobile, and offline channels by solving key challenges such as low match rates, fragmented integrations, and compliance complexities. Its solutions enable real-time data activation, achieve up to 5x higher match rates for superior targeting accuracy, deliver smarter attribution insights, and ensure privacy-first compliance with global regulations.
“After years of navigating the complexities of traditional CDPs, our team understands the challenges marketers face in activating first-party data efficiently” said Taoufik El Jamali, CEO and Co-Founder of Journify. “We built Journify to eliminate these pain points, providing a seamless, AI-powered data activation solution that enables brands to focus on results, not technical hurdles.”
Additionally, Journify deploys AI to supercharge advertising performance. Its key innovations include Predictive AI Models for deep user behavior analysis, Advanced Attribution for precise cross-channel measurement, and Real-Time Data Health & Alerts to ensure data accuracy and uncover inefficiencies.
Since launching in March 2024, Journify has rapidly scaled to $1M in ARR within nine months.

Strategic partnerships with TikTok, Google, Snap, and other top platforms further amplify the company’s success.
“Real-time data orchestration is a limitless global opportunity — whether in the US or the Middle East, businesses face the same challenges across universal marketing channels,” said Hossam Shafick, Investor at Silicon Badia. “Having backed data leaders like Amplitude (NASDAQ: AMPL) and InfluxData, we believe data infrastructure is still ripe for disruption, especially with AI transformation, and believe Journify’s founders have the expertise to set the new standard in this space.”
