Peec AI Raises €7M to Redefine Marketing in the Age of AI Search

Berlin-based startup Peec AI has raised €7 million in funding just five months after its founding, signaling explosive momentum in the rapidly evolving field of AI search. This includes a €1.8M pre-seed round closed in April 2025, followed by a €5.2M Seed round led by 20VC, with participation from Antler, Foreword VC, Identity.VC, Combination VC, and S20.

The startup’s platform is designed to help marketing teams analyze and improve brand visibility across AI search platforms, such as ChatGPT and Perplexity. As consumer behavior shifts away from traditional Google searches, Peec AI’s tools provide insights into brand performance, competitor benchmarking, mention tracking, and strategic planning to drive conversions in the AI-dominated search era.

Founded by Marius Meiners, Tobias Siwona, and Daniel Drabo, Peec AI is a product of the Antler founder residency in Berlin. The trio brings a diverse blend of experience — Meiners from esports, software engineering, and venture, Siwona from AI startups and engineering leadership, and Drabo from legaltech and law.

The company launched its platform just four months ago, already achieving €650,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and reporting weekly revenue growth of €80,000. This rapid success prompted swift investor confidence and accelerated funding rounds to support further product development and market expansion.

Peec AI addresses one of the most pressing challenges in digital marketing today: how to remain visible as AI platforms reshape how users search for information. With over 27% of consumers reportedly using AI tools for at least half of their online searches, the ability to monitor and influence visibility on these platforms is becoming critical for brand growth.

Investors have shown strong enthusiasm. Christoph Klink, Partner at Antler, emphasized that companies can no longer afford to ignore AI search trends, noting that even Google reports 1.5 billion monthly users of AI search tools. Meanwhile, Kieran Hill, Partner at 20VC, praised the team’s ambition, execution speed, and product excellence, calling Peec’s progress “phenomenal” and the team “the most cracked I have met in 2025.”

With the new funding, Peec AI aims to expand its analytics capabilities, refine its product, and empower marketers worldwide to navigate the new frontier of AI search visibility. The startup is quickly establishing itself as a leader in the intersection of AI, marketing, and search technology.
