Sources close to the matter reveal that Perplexity AI is in advanced stages of negotiations to secure $500 million in funding at a valuation of $14 billion. This round of financing is being spearheaded by Accel, a renowned venture capital firm based in Palo Alto. The source has chosen to remain anonymous due to the funding not yet being finalized. Notably, the amount being sought is lower than the range initially targeted by Perplexity in March this year. During the initial phases of discussions, the company had aspirations to raise between $500 million and $1 billion, valuing itself at $18 billion.
