The story
Originally launched as Almanac Labs, focused on collaborative document and workflow tooling. Pivoted to AI-powered content generation and marketing automation under the Blaze.ai brand, targeting enterprise customers needing scalable content production across blog, social, ad, and marketing brief formats. The company's embedded finance footprint is minimal — Stripe is used for subscription billing, reflecting its SaaS monetization model rather than any fintech ambition.
