Founded 16 months ago, already has $10 million in annual sales: The Berlin AI startup Peec AI is benefiting from the boom around ChatGPT & Co. — and is now aggressively expanding into the USA.
The Berlin AI startup Peec AI is growing rapidly: The company says it has reached the $10 million annual recurring revenue (ARR) mark – just 16 months after the product launch.
Just five months ago, Peec AI was at $5 million ARR. Sales have now doubled. Peec AI develops an analytics platform for companies and marketing teams. The software helps brands understand how visible they are in AI search engines and response systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI Mode.

With a view to the rapid growth, founder Marius Meiners says to Gründerszene: “A category with high market demand gives you the tailwind you need to grow quickly.” The boom around AI search and visibility in tools like ChatGPT is currently creating enormous demand among companies. At the same time, the market is also extremely competitive. In order to prevail against the competition, “an absolute top team” is needed.
And the team at Peec AI is growing: within six months, the number of employees rose from 25 to more than 70.
Only founded in February 2025
More than 2,500 customers are now said to be using the platform. The customers mentioned include Attio, Squarespace, TUI and Hugo Boss. The US market is currently growing particularly strongly. That’s why Peec AI is now opening its first office in New York.
They have now rented an office for 30 employees here, which Peec AI will be moving into in three weeks. “You immediately notice how helpful it is for larger transactions to be on site and be able to meet with customers in person.” The whole energy of the city is “super intoxicating and exciting.” “We will definitely get the office half full by the summer and completely full by the end of the year,” says Meiner.
Peec AI was only founded in February 2025 by him, Daniel Drabo and Tobias Siwonia in the environment of the VC Antler. The company received attention early on: According to the company, the seed financing of seven million euros led by 20VC was raised within just 24 hours. This was followed in November 2025 by Series A financing for $21 million led by Singular.
In total, Peec AI has raised around $29 million so far
Peec AI benefits from a new trend in marketing: companies are increasingly trying to optimize how their brands appear in AI-generated answers. While SEO has long been focused primarily on Google search results, a new market is emerging around visibility in generative AI systems.
The company therefore does not want to limit its platform to visibility in the future. According to Peec AI, functions relating to brand perception, commerce and recommendations for action for marketing teams are also planned.
