Peec AI Closes $21M in Funding to Scale Generative Engine Optimization Platform as AI Search Becomes a Global Discovery Channel

Peec AI, the rapidly growing platform helping brands manage and optimize their visibility in AI-powered search, has closed a $21 million Series A round led by Singular, marking one of Europe’s fastest-rising entries in the generative AI ecosystem. Just four months after its seed round, the company reports its valuation has tripled to above $100 million, driven by accelerating demand for tools that give brands control in a world where consumers increasingly ask ChatGPT instead of Google.

Since launching only 10 months ago, Peec AI has surpassed $4 million in ARR and now serves 1,300 companies and agencies, analyzing how brands appear across leading AI engines. The platform tracks visibility, ranking, sentiment, and the sources influencing AI-generated responses — insights that power Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), an emerging category reshaping digital marketing.

The new capital will support rapid hiring, with 40 new roles planned in Berlin, and fuel international expansion, including a New York commercial office opening next year. Investors in the round include Antler, Combination VC, identity.vc, and S20, as the startup positions itself ahead of rising competitors in the AI search-optimization market.

Peec AI’s proprietary data pipeline — built to isolate real product- and brand-related queries from broader chatbot traffic — remains central to its differentiation. Current customers include Axel Springer, Chanel, n8n, ElevenLabs, and TUI, reflecting the growing cross-industry importance of AI search visibility.

As AI transforms how consumers discover products and services, Peec AI aims to become the defining platform for brands seeking clarity, control, and competitive advantage in the age of generative interfaces.
