Nimble Raises $47M to Build Web Search for AI
The web data provider’s Series B follows the hype.
- Published:
Nimble, the US and Israel based provider of web data tools and services, has announced a new Series B investment round.
The Series B amounts to $47M. It’s led by Norwest and featured Databricks Ventures, among other participants.
Nimble’s announcement marks a shift in direction. The company will now focus on delivering web search for AI agents, joining the race with Exa, Tavily, Parallel, and a number of similar competitors. Perhaps incidentally, it has even changed its logo to a race flag.
Nimble has also repackaged its suite of products, which now comprises:
- A real-time API with endpoints for searching, extracting, mapping, crawling, and agentically interacting with websites.
- A list of pre-made agents (or pipelines, or scrapers) that return structured data from dozens of websites. It includes an agent builder that creates new agents based on plain language queries.
- Managed web scraping services.
- A residential proxy network.
The pricing model has changed as well. Nimble has moved away from pricing plans to a usage-based format with per-product rates. The search API costs $1 for 1,000 requests, search & extract functionality adds up to $1.35 on top, while an LLM-generated answer charges $4 per 1,000 results.
According to multiple sources, this Series B brings Nimble’s funding tally to $75M in total.
Overall, agentic web search is currently one of the hottest areas of web scraping. Just weeks ago, Nimble’s competitor Tavily was acquired by Nebius in a deal worth up to $400M.
