Our Story


Our first office in San Francisco.

A San Francisco-based startup, Aphrodite began as an advertising & crowdfunding agency. After helping clients multiply their e-commerce ROAS or raise millions on Indiegogo, we realized that marketers needed better and more transparent analytics to be successful. So, we built our own internal tools to track ROI and ROAS in a way that instantly plugs into the data. Our full transition to analytics came next when we realized every entrepreneur could use our self-service tools to manage their ad campaigns with efficacy. From understanding advertising KPIs to identifying opportunities for growth, Aphrodite equips every user with the tools to maximize their advertising experience.


Our pursuit of creative problem solving can be summarized in our first-ever trademark: we specialize in the impossible. Though impossible problems appear daunting, they simply require time, patience, and sincerity. It’s the spirit behind our fun final test for employees: solving a Rubik’s cube by heart in less than five minutes. Every member of the Aphrodite team has done it.
