Brandlight
Enterprise AI visibility platform — measure, optimize, and grow how your brand shows up across AI search, now with AI-native ads.
Brandlight is an AI-native analytics platform that monitors and optimizes how brands appear inside generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Founded in 2024 (Tel Aviv / New York), it raised a $30M Series A in February 2026 led by Pelion Venture Partners — bringing total funding to ~$35.8M at a reported valuation above $1.3B — to push enterprise CMOs into the era of AI-native advertising. The platform covers technical AI visibility, share-of-voice measurement, and optimization across answer engines.
What it does
Brandlight measures and optimizes a brand’s footprint inside AI answers, then extends into the next frontier the founders are betting on: AI-native advertising. It tracks how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity represent a brand, surfaces the technical and content fixes that move that representation, and frames AI visibility as a dedicated CMO budget line rather than an SEO side-project.
What you get
- Brand visibility measurement across major generative AI engines
- Technical AI visibility diagnostics and optimization guidance
- Share-of-voice and competitive benchmarking in AI answers
- An emerging AI-native advertising layer for enterprise CMOs
- Enterprise-grade analytics and reporting
Why it matters
Brandlight is one of the best-funded entrants in the enterprise AI-visibility race, and its “every company will budget for AI visibility in 2026” thesis is exactly the macro shift Zen’s GEO work rides. Its move toward AI-native ads is worth tracking — it signals where the AEO category goes after monitoring: from measuring presence to buying it.
