Excited to share that we have three new advisors joining Perplexity to help us across search, mobile, and distribution: Emil Michael - former CBO of Uber, Rich Miner - cofounder of Android, and advisor to Google; and Mikhail Parakhin - the former CEO of Bing, who launched Bing Chat and Microsoft Copilot. Emil set the foundation for Uber’s $137B market cap, leading the introduction of offerings like Eats and Uber for business. He knows how to play to both consumer and enterprise strengths, and he’ll guide our growth, business, and distribution strategies. An active Google advisor and one of the co-founders of the Android operating system, few people are as well-versed in the world of mobile and consumer products as Rich. His ability to combine technical expertise and strategy will help us anticipate the next big user trends and build even more intuitive interfaces. And Mikhail is the world's leading technical expert on search infrastructure and integrating it with LLMs. He has been at the forefront of AI and search, and his expertise will enable us to evolve our core answer engine, build in-house search infrastructure, anticipate new and unexpected challenges, and integrate new AI capabilities.

"Perplexity is like having a smart assistant who not only finds the book you’re looking for in a vast library but opens it to the exact page that has the information you need. Google just points you toward potentially relevant shelves. Even if Perplexity only manages to capture 1% of the $300 billion search advertising market, that’s $3 billion in annual revenue. That’s a healthy slice of pie for a 20-month-old startup" - Mark Sullivan, Fast Company https://lnkd.in/dxtcZq88
