    1. Tell us about your background and how you started the companyHi! I’m EJ Cho, Co-Founder & CEO of Tofu. I have over a decade of experience building products at companies such as Google, Meta, and other startups. At my first startup I saw firsthand the inefficiencies of extreme fragmentation across the martech stack and GTM channels. We built Tofu to address this problem directly by giving marketers a single place to create, personalize, and launch campaigns without the inefficiencies of a bloated stack. 2. What are the key problems you are addressing and how you are delivering value to customers?Tofu helps mid-market and enterprise marketing teams cut through martech bloat by unifying campaign creation, personalization, and activation in one platform. Intent signals from tools like 6sense and Demandbase show who’s ready. Tofu is what comes next: an AI-first campaign platform that turns those signals into integrated omni-channel campaigns. Marketers use Tofu to run personalized ABM and lifecycle programs across email, landing pages, and ads in one place while staying connected to Salesforce, HubSpot, Webflow, and other GTM tools. This unified workflow helps teams move faster, stay on-brand, and drive stronger pipeline results.

    3. What have you enjoyed or what do you look forward to about working with Tau Ventures?  I’ve really valued Tau Ventures’ founder-first approach. They combine conviction with practical guidance, and have supported us through their amazing in-person events and key introductions. I've been really impressed with their support over the past year and I'm excited to continue building with them.
