Perplexity AI launched its Enterprise Pro service and secured $62.7M in Series B funding
Perplexity launched its Enterprise Pro service, which adds a safety and data privacy layer to its Pro offering. The company also announced a successful $62.7M Series B and key global partnerships.
Perplexity AI's Enterprise Pro service enables organizations to safely profit from Perplexity's capabilities to boost productivity across its teams. In the official launch announcement, Perplexity shares it has dedicated the last few months to rolling out Enterprise Pro for an all-star selection of customers, including Stripe, Zoom, Bridgewater, Snowflake, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Universal McCann, Thrive Global, Databricks, Paytm, ElevenLabs, HP, Vercel, and Replit. These organizations are leveraging Perplexity's answer engine capabilities to perform targeted research on several topics, such as marketing, law, and peer-reviewed science for health content. Perplexity Enterprise Pro includes every Pro feature (unlimited queries, unlimited file uploads, and voice-to-search), and additional data privacy and security features such as SOC2 certification, user management, data retention, and single sign-on (SSO).
In parallel, Perplexity AI announced it secured $62.7 million in a Series B round, which means the company has doubled its valuation to over $1 billion. The new investment Perplexity AI has also raised $165 million to date. The Series B round was led by Daniel Gross (former head of AI at Y Combinator), and backed by an impressive line-up of new investors who joined the roster of existing ones, with the latter doubling down on their investments. The Series B funding and the recently struck partnerships with telecom giants SoftBank Corp. and Deutsche Telekom will accelerate Perplexity's goal of global expansion.
