Berlin, January 2, 2026 – YPOG has advised early-stage investor Antler on the successful Series A funding round of Berlin-based AI startup Peec AI, raising USD 21 million. The round was led by Singular, with participation from Antler, Combination VC, identity.vc, and S20.
Peec AI develops a platform that helps companies enhance their brand presence in an increasingly generative search landscape. As more users turn to generative AI tools like ChatGPT instead of traditional search engines, Peec AI enables brands to strategically adapt their content and marketing strategies to these emerging user behaviors. Since its incorporation, Peec AI has grown its annual recurring revenue to over USD 4 million in just ten months and has already acquired around 1,300 companies and agencies as customers.
The funds from this round will be used to further accelerate the development of the AI-driven analytics platform, hire more than 40 new team members, and open a new office in New York.
