a16z领投Exa的C轮融资,Exa专注于构建面向智能体时代的网页搜索引擎,旨在提升复杂查询的检索效果,让AI和开发者优先使用其服务。
We’re excited to lead Exa’s Series C, to back their ambition of perfecting web search, and making it ready for the age of intelligent agents.
We’re entering a new era for search, built from the ground up around what AI can do.
The signal from the market was consistent. Exa excels with the hardest queries – the long tail of high alpha searches where traditional engines fail. What struck us most was the default behavior: developers and agents are reaching for Exa first.
Years before ChatGPT or the AI boom really started, @WilliamBryk and @jeffzwang were inspired by the transformer breakthrough and believed deeply that AI will fundamentally change the way we access information.
So they set out on the path to build the search engine for a future where agents become the primary consumers of the web.
We’re thrilled to partner with Will, Jeff, and the Exa team as they build the perfect search engine for agents and usher in a world of abundant information for all.
