New York, NY – August 20, 2025 – Bluefish, the innovative AI marketing platform catering to Fortune 500 enterprises, today announced the successful closure of a $20 million Series A funding round. The investment was spearheaded by prominent venture capital firms NEA and Salesforce Ventures, with notable contributions from Crane Venture Partners, Swift Ventures, and Bloomberg Beta. This latest infusion of capital elevates Bluefish’s total funding to $24 million, achieved within just 12 months since its inception.
The company also unveiled its new ‘Custom AI Audiences’ feature, designed to provide brands with unparalleled granularity and precision in managing their AI performance. As artificial intelligence increasingly becomes the primary conduit for product discovery and purchasing decisions, Bluefish positions itself to empower enterprise marketers by offering crucial visibility and influence over AI-generated responses.
Bluefish has demonstrated remarkable growth, achieving a tenfold increase in revenue over the past six months. Its expanding roster of enterprise clients now includes global giants such as Adidas, real estate firm Tishman Speyer, and advertising conglomerate Omnicom.
The newly secured funds are earmarked for strategic product expansion and the scaling of its engineering and customer-facing teams, reinforcing Bluefish’s commitment to innovation and market leadership.
Alex Sherman, CEO of Bluefish, commented on the evolving landscape: “Over the past year, the way consumers find and buy new products has radically changed, migrating from conventional search to AI. Search marketers were the first to recognize this shift in consumer behavior, but it is increasingly clear that the entire enterprise marketing stack will need to be reimagined for AI. Successful marketers will need a suite of AI-native tools to track, measure, and optimize for this new channel. These tools will be critical to winning customers who are now spending more time in AI than on the open web. That’s what we are building at Bluefish.”
