Profound builds software for brands and marketing teams that shows how they appear in ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI answer engines and helps them improve that presence.
Profound says AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Gemini are becoming the front door to product discovery while marketers must cover far more answer surfaces and sources; its platform measures citations, sentiment, ranking and competitive presence and lets agents turn those insights into content and workflows. The bet has attracted above $335 million, including a $180M Series D at a $1.8B valuation, while the company says it serves over 1,000 enterprise brands and more than one-third of the Fortune 100.
