AI search startup Perplexity has made an unexpected $34.5 billion all-cash bid to buy Google’s Chrome browser - a price much higher than its own estimated valuation of $18 billion.
Perplexity AI, a California-based search startup, is close to raising $500 million in new funding, which would value the company at around $9 billion. The latest funding round will be led by venture capital firm Institutional Venture Partners (IVP), which also has a seat in the startup.
