Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<\/a>NVDA<\/a>) is reportedly in discussions to invest in Perplexity as the fast-growing AI startup<\/a> seeks funding at a valuation exceeding $30 billion. <\/p>\n

Nvidia Eyes Stake in Perplexity at $30 Billion Valuation <\/p>\n

Nvidia is considering participating in Perplexity’s latest equity financing round, which could value the company at more than $30 billion, Reuters reported (via<\/a> The Information). <\/p>\n

In September last year, Perplexity had reportedly finalized a $20 billion valuation. <\/p>\n

Nvidia and Perplexity did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for comment. <\/p>\n

Perplexity Revenue Surges as AI Agent Gains Traction <\/p>\n

Perplexity’s annualized revenue<\/a> has climbed above $750 million, up from less than $250 million at the beginning of the year, according to the report. <\/p>\n

The growth has been partly attributed to Perplexity Computer, a cloud-based AI agent<\/a> designed to automate computer-based tasks for professional users. <\/p>\n

The sharp revenue increase is helping fuel investor interest as demand for AI-powered search and autonomous agents accelerates. <\/p>\n

Bezos, SoftBank Among Perplexity’s Backers <\/p>\n

Perplexity has attracted prominent investors, including Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<\/a>AMZN<\/a>) founder Jeff Bezos and Japan’s SoftBank Group (OTC:<\/a>SFTBF<\/a>) (OTC:<\/a>SFTBY<\/a>). <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the company reportedly signed a $750 million agreement with Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<\/a>MSFT<\/a>) to use its Azure cloud infrastructure. <\/p>\n

In a June interview<\/a> with CNBC, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said the company plans to pursue an initial public offering in 2028<\/a>, regardless of how the planned listings of OpenAI and Anthropic perform. <\/p>\n

Price Action: Nvidia shares fell 0.98% to $214.72 in Friday’s trading session, according to Benzinga Pro. <\/p>\n

According to Benzinga Edge Rankings, Nvidia ranks in the 99th percentile for Growth and maintains positive short-, medium- and long-term price trend ratings<\/a>. <\/p>\n
