About Pushnami

Pushnami is an AI-first performance marketing company based in Austin, Texas. It owns and operates about 30 consumer websites that bring in more than 120,000 US registrations a day, and its push technology runs on more than 1,000 publisher websites. Its AI engine, Pushnomics, matches those consumers to advertisers as leads, live transfers, and push and SMS traffic. Founded in 2017, Pushnami is founder-owned, has never taken outside funding, and has been profitable since day one.

What Pushnami does

Leads

Consumers register on the websites we own and operate, answer qualifying questions, and agree to be contacted. Our AI matches each one to your offer, and we post the lead to your system with its consent certificate. The lead engine is called Pivot.

Live transfers

Our AI call center qualifies consumers who asked to hear from you, then connects them live to your agents. Consent is captured at registration.

Push and SMS traffic

Reach opted-in subscribers across 1,000+ publisher websites by push notification, and by text message through Textnami, our SMS platform. New ad creatives go to human review before they serve.

Push revenue for publishers

We run push notifications on a publisher's site from start to finish and share the revenue. It adds a second revenue stream on top of what the site already earns. We call it Push Managed Services.

Push notification software

Brands and media companies send their own notifications to their own subscribers through our admin. Pricing is set to the work. We call it Push Enterprise.

Ads from your AI assistant

Advertisers run Pushnami Ads from AI assistants like Claude. They check balances, upload creatives, and create campaigns without leaving the assistant, through the Pushnami Ads MCP server.

The team behind Pushnami

A note from our founder

I started Pushnami from my home in 2017. No outside funding. Profitable since day 1.

Today more than 1,000 publisher sites use our push technology. We own and operate about 30 websites that bring in more than 120,000 US consumer registrations a day.

We built all of it ourselves (4 issued US patents so far), including Pushnomics, the AI engine that decides which offer each person sees.

Publishers get paid on time. Always. Advertisers hear back within 1 business day.

We are AI-first. 20 people run all of it, and 100% of our code is AI-generated. We are hiring people who want to work that way.

If you buy leads or have traffic to monetize, I would like to talk.
