AdScout Signs First US Customers, Secures Angel Funding for Agentic Commerce Expansion

1 articles · Updated · therecursive.com · Jul 29

Summary

  • AdScout has landed its first U.S. customers, marking the Bulgarian startup’s entry into the market as it broadens from creator commerce into agentic commerce infrastructure.
  • New angel funding will speed development of that roadmap and support expansion into additional international markets, with the company also moving toward a larger investment round.
  • Ozone.bg, one of Bulgaria’s largest online retailers, has joined as a new customer, while former Google Ads team lead Lachezar Atanasov recently came aboard as AI Head of Product.
  • AdScout says brands increasingly need tools that connect creator campaigns, reviews, affiliate tracking, payments and reporting, as AI adds more layers to how shoppers assess trust before buying.
  • The push reflects a wider shift in commerce: product decisions are being shaped less by static specifications and more by reviews, creator input, customer feedback and AI-driven recommendations.
