AI客户研究初创公司Listen Labs已签署1.25亿美元的C轮融资协议，估值15亿美元，由Menlo Ventures领投，但该公司随后放弃了这笔融资以推进与Salesforce的收购谈判1。Salesforce向Listen Labs提出了约20亿美元的收购价格，不过这笔交易目前尚未最终确定1。
Listen Labs年化收入约3000万美元，主要客户包括Microsoft、Canva、Anthropic和Sweetgreen1。该公司由德国编程全国冠军Florian Jüngermann和前创业公司Bemlo创始人Alfred Wahlforss联合创办1。Listen Labs此前在2024年1月完成B轮融资，融资规模为6900万美元，估值5亿美元，由Ribbit Capital领投1。
若最终未能与Salesforce达成收购协议，Listen Labs计划重新启动融资进程，并将寻求20亿美元或更高的估值1。竞争对手Simile最近完成了2亿美元的Series B融资，估值达20亿美元，由Greenoaks领投1。
Listen Labs, an artificial intelligence customer research startup, has shelved a Series C funding round to advance acquisition discussions with Salesforce.1 The company had signed a financing agreement worth $1.25 billion at a $1.5 billion valuation, led by Menlo Ventures, but chose to abandon the round in favor of potential acquisition talks.1 Salesforce has proposed an acquisition price of approximately $2 billion, though the deal remains unconfirmed.1
The startup counts Microsoft, Canva, Anthropic, and Sweetgreen among its key clients and generates approximately $30 million in annualized revenue.1 Listen Labs raised $69 million in its Series B round in January 2024 at a $500 million valuation, led by Ribbit Capital.1 Should the Salesforce acquisition fall through, the company expects to resume fundraising with a target valuation of $2 billion or higher.1 The company was founded by Florian Jüngermann, a former German national programming champion, and Alfred Wahlforss, who previously founded the startup Bemlo.1
