AudiencePlus is a verifiable B2B SaaS platform for 'owned media' founded by Anthony Kennada (ex-Gainsight CMO). Search confirms the company raised ~$12.4M in funding and was acquired by The Juice in early 2025 (verifying high real-world utility and traction despite the submission's poor quality). The submission itself contains hallucinated/false data (claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone'), which severely impacted the Audience Reach and Response Quality scores. The project is a success (exit/revenue ~$1.6M), but the PoU score is capped by the low integrity of the submission data.

Description
Companies across the SaaS industry are rethinking their content and community marketing approaches. We’ve historically thought about content marketing as written blog posts – optimized for performance marketing and fueling digital demand creation.\n\nBut the world has changed, and in order to address these new challenges head-on and create sustainable growth for our businesses, every company will have to become like a media company.\n\nAt AudiencePlus, we are building software, content, and community in order to help every SaaS business make the media marketing transition and leverage their own community to fuel sustainable growth. \n\nWe are launching with three video franchises that are capturing the stories of some of the leading thinkers behind the media marketing movement, providing tactical tips to content marketers, and applying lessons from consumer media companies at the bleeding edge of innovation. We will be dropping new episodes every week, as well as exclusive content only for subscribers.\n\nSo if you are a marketing executive, brand or demand leader, or content or editorial leader thinking about evolving your company into a media brand, subscribe today for free at audienceplus.com to join our community.\n\nWe believe that media will become one of the most disruptive forces in B2B marketing and usher in a new era of community-led growth. We’re excited to help facilitate that discussion.
