Paul Yacoubian is an angel investor and co-founder of Copy.ai, a generative AI platform that accelerates sales and marketing through data-driven AI workflow automation. He dedicates himself to building and scaling Copy.ai to become an indispensable platform for over 15 million users worldwide. Prior to founding Copy.ai, Yacoubian was a CPA at a public accounting firm and later transitioned into the hedge fund industry, where he invested in SaaS companies over a decade ago. He also joined a family business that was a tech start-up and helped run, grow, and sell that company. In 2020, he co-founded Copy.ai with Chris Lu, leveraging their experience in venture capital and startup growth to create a platform that utilizes AI to generate marketing copy efficiently. Under his leadership, Copy.ai has evolved from a simple copywriting tool to a comprehensive go-to-market AI platform, featuring workflow automation, AI agents, and enterprise integrations.

He has shared insights on this approach in discussions with McKinsey, highlighting the importance of analytics and customer feedback in scaling AI-native companies effectively.
