A startup called Keenable has emerged from stealth with $26 million in seed funding and a bold premise: the search infrastructure powering today’s web was designed for people, not for the billions of automated queries that AI agents are about to unleash.

The seed round, which closed on November 5, 2025, was backed by Accel, Conviction Partners, Brightwing Capital, and ScOp Venture Capital. Angel investors from Google and Amazon also participated.

What Keenable actually does

At its core, Keenable maintains an independent web search index spanning more than 100 billion documents. Keenable’s approach optimizes for low-latency, high-frequency queries that AI agents need, with use cases including lead enrichment, market mapping, and pricing monitoring.

The company offers APIs that support straightforward language searches and cleaned content fetching, delivering model-ready inputs with minimal delay. Pricing starts at free trial tiers and scales to $1 per 1,000 API requests for what the company calls “frontier-scale” users.
