Profound raises $96M Series C at $1B valuation to build the marketing platform for the AI era
来自红杉投资的评价 Profound | Sequoia Capital
Profound is an AI visibility and content creation platform that helps brands monitor and optimize how they appear in AI-powered search results. As consumers increasingly turn to AI assistants for product research, Profound gives marketers the tools to control their presence in AI systems. Profound empowers businesses to win in a future where AI agents, not blue links, drive discovery.
Profound 的起点，是让营销团队对 AI 如何谈论他们的品牌拥有顶级的可见度，追踪各大主流答案引擎中的提及、情感和表现。
当客户将这些洞察落地为日常运营时，他们往往不得不把 Profound 的数据导出到独立的编排和自动化工具中，为了执行而学习和使用多套系统。
现在，他们不再需要这样做了。
借助 Profound Agents，编排和自动化能力被直接内置到 Profound 中，并由我们原生的 AI 可见度数据驱动。
一个系统。一个数据源。一个面向 AI 营销未来的平台。
来自 Target、Walmart、Figma、MongoDB、Charlotte Tilbury 和美国银行等公司的世界级营销人员，正在使用 Profound 完成从洞察到执行的闭环，由智能体处理运营层，而人类则保留策略制定和最终决策权。
Profound began by giving marketing teams best in class visibility into how AI talks about their brands, tracking mentions, sentiment, and performance across all major Answer Engines.
As our customers operationalized that insight, they often had to export Profound data into separate orchestration and automation tools, learning and using multiple systems just to execute.
Now they don’t.
With Profound Agents, orchestration and automation are built directly into Profound, powered natively by our AI visibility data.
One system. One source of truth. One platform for the future of AI Marketing.
World-leading marketers from companies like Target, Walmart, Figma, MongoDB, Charlotte Tilbury, and US Bank use Profound to go from insight to execution, with agents handling the operational layer while humans retain strategy and final control.

Profound Agents 能与现代团队已经在使用的工具无缝集成，包括 HubSpot、Google Workspace、Gamma、Parallel AI 和 Vercel，而且我们几乎每天都在新增更多集成。
构建一个平台
Profound Agents 帮助企业以更少的投入做更多的事。我们打造了一个强大的工作台，相信它将催生营销组织中的一种全新角色——营销工程师。
为了支撑这一愿景，我们正在推出 Profound 生态体系，包括培训、认证、代理市场以及 Profound 大学，帮助营销人员掌握智能体和答案引擎优化。
这是疯狂的 18 个月。
我们期待用接下来的 18 年，为我们深怀感激的客户，去打造我们所热爱的事业。

Profound Agents integrate seamlessly with the tools modern teams already use, including HubSpot, Google Workspace, Gamma, Parallel AI, and Vercel, and we are adding more integrations almost on a daily basis.
Building a Platform
Profound Agents help businesses do more with less. We have built a powerful workbench that we believe will birth a new kind of role in the marketing org; The Marketing Engineer.
To support that vision, we are launching the Profound Ecosystem, including training, certification, an agency marketplace, and Profound University, equipping marketers to master Agents and Answer Engine Optimization.
It has been a wild 18 months.
We are excited for the next 18 years building what we love, for customers we are endlessly grateful for.
