Business Development Intern

The future of marketing will be nothing like the past.

Performance marketing is a race to discover the creative angles, visuals, and messages that entertain, engage, and convert audiences before the competition does. Until now, that’s been a manual, messy, and painfully slow process.

We’re changing that. Uplane builds an AI autopilot for advertising. Our intelligent system generates, tests, and optimizes campaigns end-to-end, faster than any human team could dream of. From concept to creative to targeting to scaling, everything happens automatically, driven by real performance data.

This isn’t just another marketing tool. It’s the future of advertising where brands and creators focus on the vision, and AI takes care of winning the market.

If you want to shape the future and change how the world does marketing, you’ll fit right in.

About Uplane (YC F25)

Companies waste billions on bad ads, mismatched landing pages, and poor budget allocation. Uplane fixes this by replacing a patchwork of agencies, spreadsheets, and siloed tools with one self-improving AI system. It creates ads, builds matching landing pages, allocates budgets across different channels, and more. We are building the AI engine that will manage and spend the world's marketing budget.
