At a $2.2 billion valuation, Glean, a Palo Alto, California-based company that offers AI-powered work assistants, snapped up more than $200 million in Series D funding.
Kleiner Perkins and Lightspeed Venture Partners, two of the round’s original investors, led it. Sequoia Capital, two of the original investors, Adams Street, Coatue, ICONIQ, IVP, and Latitude Capital, as well as strategic investors Citi Ventures, Databricks Ventures, and Workday Ventures, supported it.
The cash will be used by the company to accelerate growth as it fulfills enterprise demand for generative AI implementation.
Founded by Tony Gentilcore (Google), Piyush Prahladka (Uber), T.R. Vishwanath (Meta), and Arvind Jain (co-founder of Rubrik), Glean offers an AI-powered work assistant that links and comprehends the company’s knowledge to bring solutions users require.
It provides LLMs with the most current, pertinent information by using its enterprise search and RAG technology. It also delivers customized responses based on the enterprise knowledge graph of the organization.
All responses are private, secure, permission-aware, and able to be referred to the original source documents within your company. With more than 100 connectors, Glean offers the installation of a sophisticated AI ecosystem without the need for pricey expert services, data training, or manual fine-tuning.
Businesses can also leverage its centralized AI platform, which is low-code and no-code, to expand generative AI with the support of their own expertise.
