AI exuberance has helped fuel extraordinary returns for many AI-related private market companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI, along with public market companies like AI chip leader Nvidia. But it’s not just the largest AI names making moves. The AI search engine Perplexity is another example of an AI company that may be a bit smaller than those in the Private Magnificent 7, but it's been growing exponentially.

Forge Price™ is a custom data-point calculated and disseminated by Forge Data LLC (“Forge Data”) and is a mark of Forge Data. Forge Price may rely on a very limited number of inputs in its calculation. Forge Price is prepared and disseminated solely for informational purposes. Redistribution is permitted solely with Forge’s written consent. While Forge has obtained information from sources it believes to be reliable, Forge does not perform an audit or undertake any duty of due diligence or independent verification of any information it receives. Forge does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or availability of Forge Price, and are not responsible for any errors or omissions, regardless of the cause, or any results obtained from the use of Forge Price. Forge Price is derived from secondary activity on the Forge platform and other private market trading platforms, and other publicly-available datapoints collected by Forge. Forge Price is not intended to, and does not necessarily, represent the market price of any securities (I.e., the price at which you could buy or sell such securities). Neither reference to company names, nor calculation of Forge Price for a specific company, implies any affiliation between Forge and that company, any endorsement or sponsorship by Forge of any company or vice versa, or any partnership, joint venture or other commercial relationship between Forge and any company. Rights with respect to any company marks referred to herein are owned by the company. The dollar-figure and percentage displayed indicates the per share change in dollar amount and percentage since the most recent Forge Price change. Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number.
The Last Closed Trade price displayed reflects the price at which the last trade in this company's security occurred on Forge, and can include secondary trades in any class of the company's security, or trades in units of funds holding the company's securities (the economics of which differ versus direct company ownership). The date displayed reflects the date on which the last trade in this company's security closed on Forge. This may be several weeks after the terms of the trade were agreed upon between the buyer and seller. In case of multiple trades closed on the same date, the price displayed is of either (i) the trade which terms were agreed upon most recently; or (ii) the trade with the higher notional value.
Post-Money Valuation represents the estimated valuation based on company-submitted Certificates of Incorporations (COIs).
Last Known Valuation represents a valuation gathered from non-COI, publicly available sources including company press releases or multiple concurring news articles.
The dollar-figure and percentage displayed indicates the per share change in dollar amount and percentage since the most recent Forge Price change. Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number.
