🧩 Nvidia Discusses Perplexity Investment At $30 Billion-Plus Valuation

Nvidia is reportedly in talks to invest in Perplexity as part of an equity funding round that would value the AI startup at more than $30 billion, according to The Information. The new valuation would represent an increase of more than 50% from Perplexity’s previous financing round.

Perplexity’s annualized revenue has reportedly climbed to more than $750 million, up from less than $250 million at the start of the year. Part of the growth has been attributed to Perplexity Computer, a cloud-based AI agent designed to help professionals automate computer-based tasks.

Perplexity declined to comment on the report, while Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Perplexity was valued at $20 billion last year and has also reportedly signed a $750 million agreement with Microsoft to use its Azure cloud services. The company is planning to go public in 2028, according to CEO Aravind Srinivas. Yahoo Finance reports.
