Glean Secures $150M Series F at $7.2B Valuation
Enterprise AI search leader Glean has secured $150 million in its latest funding round, catapulting its valuation to $7.2 billion—a 57% increase from its $4.6 billion valuation just nine months prior. Wellington Management led the Series F round, which saw participation from both new and existing investors.
Investor Confidence Signals Market Demand The financing attracted notable new backers including Khosla Ventures and Bicycle Capital, while existing investors like Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners doubled down on their support. This robust participation reflects growing market appetite for AI-powered enterprise solutions that streamline knowledge management.
Founded in 2019 by ex-Google engineers, Glean has rapidly emerged as a force in workplace AI. Its platform integrates seamlessly with major productivity tools including Microsoft 365 and Slack, delivering intelligent search capabilities across organizational data silos.
Rapid Growth Metrics The company's flagship Glean Agents platform, launched earlier this year, already handles over 100 million automated operations annually with plans to reach one billion by December. Remarkably, Glean surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue within three years of launching its software—a testament to strong product-market fit.
Proceeds will fuel expansion across several fronts:
- Enhanced AI security features
- International market growth
- New San Francisco headquarters
- Team expansion beyond current 850 employees
The company recently made waves with its inaugural Glean:GO conference, drawing 10,000 attendees and showcasing strategic partnerships with Dell and Snowflake. These developments come despite industry challenges like Salesforce's recent restrictions on Slack data access for AI platforms.
Riding the AI Wave Glean's valuation surge mirrors broader industry trends—AI startups have captured nearly half of all U.S. venture funding over the past year. Market analysts project the global AI agent sector will explode from $7.6 billion to $52.6 billion by 2030, positioning Glean at the forefront of this transformation.
The company's ascent has earned recognition including spots on CNBC's Disruptor 50 list and Fast Company's 2025 Most Innovative Companies ranking—validating its mission to redefine enterprise productivity through artificial intelligence.
