  • Headline led a £10 million April funding round for Searchable, valuing the AI marketing startup at more than £60 million less than six months after it launched.
  • Searchable says it has generated $4.5 million in revenue since November by helping companies improve visibility on AI search engines, with American Express, KPMG, Pfizer and Boston Consulting Group among customers.
  • The company had already raised £3 million from Freestyle shortly after launch and was co-founded by Chris Donnelly with engineers Sam Hogan and Arya Nagabhyru, whom he met through Y Combinator in San Francisco.
  • For Donnelly, 35, the raise extends a rapid run after selling Verb Brands for $25 million in 2021, helping build care-home marketplace Lottie, and launching creator-training business The Creator Accelerator.
