Jumps from 3rd to 1st after closing a massive $125M Series A at a $1B valuation led by Lightspeed, with Greylock, Unusual Ventures, and A* all investing above pro rata. Trusted by enterprise heavyweights like Coinbase, DoorDash, and Salesforce to autonomously investigate and resolve on-call incidents, the team has 5x'd headcount to 129 in the past year with no signs of slowing down.
Holds strong near the top after surpassing $5M ARR in just 11 months — in a category that didn't exist a year ago. The Berlin-based AI search visibility platform has onboarded 1,300+ brands and agencies including n8n, Attio, ElevenLabs, and Chanel, adding 300+ new customers every month. They raised a $21M Series A led by Singular, bringing total funding to $29M.
The new entrant into the top 3 is making waves as the first platform purpose-built to make MCP enterprise-ready. Already trusted by Gusto, Opendoor, dbt Labs, and Instacart, the team raised an $11M seed from Khosla Ventures' Keith Rabois and Felicis, with the co-creator of MCP at Anthropic advising. Headcount has more than doubled in the last 90 days as enterprise demand accelerates.
