According to a recent LinkedIn post from StartEngine, the company is highlighting a multiyear infrastructure agreement between AI search firm Perplexity and cloud provider CoreWeave. The post notes that the deal centers on access to NVIDIA-powered data centers, including clusters based on the latest Blackwell architecture, which is framed as premium and in high demand for AI workloads.

The post suggests that access to NVIDIA chips is emerging as a key bottleneck and competitive advantage in the accelerating AI market, and positions Perplexity as being well placed to scale on the back of this infrastructure. It also reminds readers that StartEngine Private investors previously had exposure to Perplexity through prior offerings and encourages accredited investors to review current opportunities on the StartEngine Private platform, while reiterating extensive risk disclosures about illiquidity, valuation uncertainty, and lack of assured profitability.
From an investor perspective, the post underscores how control over advanced AI infrastructure is becoming a critical value driver for AI-focused companies and related investment vehicles. It implies that StartEngine’s deal-flow may continue to feature companies tied to strategic infrastructure arrangements, but emphasizes that past access to names like Perplexity does not guarantee future performance, liquidity, or valuation growth for investors engaging through its Regulation D offerings.
