Overview
An enterprise search and AI agent workflow platform that integrates across a company's internal software tools to help employees find information and automate knowledge work. Glean raised $150 million in a Series F at a $7.2 billion valuation in mid-2025, led by Wellington Management, and reached $300 million in annualized recurring revenue by late May 2026, up 89% year-over-year, ranking No. 41 on CNBC's 2026 Disruptor 50 list.
Strategic Connections
- Enterprise AI Search & Knowledge Assistants: Glean raised $150 million at a $7.2 billion valuation and reached $300 million in ARR by May 2026, up 89% year-over-year.
- Writer: Glean competes with Writer in the enterprise AI knowledge and agentic-work platform market.
- Hebbia: Glean competes with Hebbia, though Hebbia focuses more narrowly on knowledge-heavy sectors like finance, law and consulting.
Strategic Risks
- Reported enterprise AI budget tightening in 2026 could slow the pace of further valuation expansion despite strong ARR growth
- Faces competition both from narrower vertical agents and from foundation-model providers building native enterprise-search features
Future Outlook
- Continued ARR growth trajectory following the pattern of consecutive milestone crossings ($100M to $200M to $300M within about 16 months)
- Potential IPO candidacy given scale and growth rate relative to enterprise SaaS peers
