What “cited by AI engines” means here
The Machine Relations Index asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews a fixed panel of buyer questions on a recurring schedule and records which websites each answer cites. A company counts as cited when its own website appeared as a source in at least one recorded answer between May 10, 2026 and October 18, 2026 (release mri_score_v2.1+2026-10-18+380d7c3b11dc). The panel asks buyer questions across 24 industry categories, not questions about these companies by name, so “not yet” means no recorded answer cited the company's site. A company whose market sits outside those categories can be absent for that reason alone.
Research that measured this week
Machine Relations Research measured the 24 rounds this week's roster held when it was first published on September 26, 2026 against the Machine Relations Index release of the same day: the websites of 17 of the 24 companies were cited in none of 16,925 eligible answer runs recorded since May 10, 2026. 17 of 24 Newly Funded AI Companies Are in Zero AI Answers, Machine Relations Research, September 26, 2026.
Questions
- Which exactly stated USD rounds were largest the week of September 21, 2026?
- TEKEVER, $580 million (Series D), Cyera, $400 million (Series G extension) and Island, $400 million (Series F).
- How much did AI startups raise the week of September 21, 2026?
- The 58 AI rounds confirmed here: 49 announced in dollars; 46 exactly stated USD rounds total $3.74 billion; 3 qualified or unstated USD amounts excluded from totals and rankings. 9 rounds were announced in another currency and are listed as announced, not converted.
- Do AI answer engines already know these companies?
- 9 of the 58 companies had been cited in at least one AI answer recorded by the Machine Relations Index between May 10, 2026 and October 18, 2026: Cyera, Island, Snorkel AI, Heidi, Ema, Firecrawl, Harvey, Verda and Spiich. A funding announcement does not by itself put a company into AI answers.
How this list was built
Rounds come from public announcements. This week's candidates came from a funding-announcement feed over TechCrunch, Tech.eu and EU-Startups, from AlleyWatch's and Raise Track's daily funding reports, from Crunchbase News, Bloomberg and Reuters, and from Fireround's public funding rounds; 58 of them met the AI rule and were confirmed at their own sources. Each entry links the two sources that confirm it: the company's announcement and one outlet, which settle the amount and investors, or two independent outlets that agree on the amount and the lead, or on one investor as the only backer. The company's own words describe it as AI or as built for AI. The round type is printed as announced, or as not disclosed when no source states it. Full method.
Changes
- October 19, 2026: Removed Nscale ($3.36 billion in pre-IPO convertible loan notes): convertible notes are debt until they convert, and only equity rounds are listed.
- October 19, 2026: Added Sol ($4 million): its own announcement names the investors and Entrackr reported the round. A lead investor is required only when two outlets, not the company, confirm a round.
