Searchable, the AI performance marketing platform helping businesses compete in AI-driven search, has raised $14m (£10.5m) in funding led by global venture capital firm Headline.

The latest funding round values the company at $85m (£63.75m) and comes just 10 months after it was incorporated.

Searchable has achieved annual recurring revenue of $2.6m (£2m), and the new investment from Headline follows a $4m funding round led by Freestyle in December 2025.

The company has reached $100,000 in monthly recurring revenue, onboarded more than 500 paying customers, and converted five blue-chip companies from incumbent SEO platforms within 60 days.

Serial entrepreneur Chris Donnelly, who sold SEO agency Verb for $25m and scaled Lottie.org to a nine-figure valuation, said: “Search is going through a once-in-a-generation reset. When an AI assistant recommends your brand, customers arrive with more intent, more trust and a shorter path to purchase.

“Based on our own data, customers convert at three times the rate when they arrive from ChatGPT and other LLMs. If you aren’t visible in those answers, you’re giving ground to competitors every day.”

The company operates across New York and London.
