Gushwork Secures $9 Million Seed to Help Businesses Conquer the AI Search Era

Solving the Invisible Pipeline Problem

Gushwork announced a $9 million seed funding round led by Susquehanna Asia VC to fuel its mission of making businesses visible in conversational AI. The investment follows a rapid pivot to AI Feeds, a content management system built specifically for answer engine optimization. This funding round values the Delaware and Bengaluru-based startup at approximately $33 million, with participation from Lightspeed, B Capital, and others. As B2B buyers transition from traditional Google searches to asking specific questions to platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity, many brands are becoming invisible. Gushwork identifies that most current websites are not structured for Large Language Models to read or cite effectively. Their new product, AI Feeds, acts as a dedicated protocol for brands to communicate directly with AI crawlers to ensure they appear in conversational answers.

The Power of the Seven-Agent Swarm

The platform utilizes a specialized seven-agent swarm to automate the entire marketing lifecycle without human overhead. These agents handle everything from deep market research and brand memory to technical writing and automated publishing. By deploying these agents, businesses can maintain a living content library that refreshes automatically as AI algorithms evolve. This ensures that a company’s digital presence remains current even as search platforms change their ranking logic. The transition to a pure SaaS model has yielded immediate results, with the company reaching $1.5 million in annual recurring revenue within 90 days of beta. Monthly growth sits at 80 percent as industrial and commercial services companies seek ways to capture leads from AI engines. The company currently manages over 1,000 leads per month across its initial customer base, proving that the market is ready for AEO solutions.

Future Growth and Platform Expansion

With the new capital, Gushwork plans to double down on product development and integrate more deeply with emerging AI search platforms. The team is also expanding its engineering talent to refine its predictive models and intent analysis tools. This expansion aims to move the product into broader B2B sectors beyond its initial industrial core. The ultimate goal is to provide a seamless infrastructure where businesses can dominate their market presence without massive overhead.
