In the era of Agentic AI, people on LinkedIn and elsewhere are closely monitoring how AI native startups scale. Accounts to follow here and on LinkedIn on this trend specifically:
Who to follow for AI Native Startup Insights?
- Henry Shi [on LinkedIn]
- Lenny Rachitsky [on LinkedIn]
- Ruben Dominguez Ibar [on LinkedIn
- Ivan Landabaso [on LinkedIn]
- Ben Lang [on LinkedIn ]
- Chris Tottman [on LinkedIn
- Guillermo Flor [on LinkedIn]
- Ollie Forsyth [on LinkedIn – I’ll work on a who is who AI on LinkedIn article )
Note: anything around AI native startups and the intersection of Product and AI is super valuable at this time in mid 2025. Genspark used to be the “Chinese Perplexity” to me, but now it has a different vibe.
Genspark’s Rebirth in Agents ⟳
Genspark’s shift to Agents really started around April, 2025. They have raised around $160 million to date and their revenue is increasing rapidly.
Since Genspark’s pivot from search to agents, it’s seen incredible growth. In mid 2025, a 20-person team grew ARR to $36 million in about 45 days, according to OpenAI. While their Super agent has been getting a lot of attention, so have their constant feature updates.
Genspark’s feature updates of new agentic capabilities has been relentless:
Genspark is one of those pseudo Chinese-American U.S. startups. They are based in Palo Alto, California and founded in 2023 by former Baidu executives Eric Jing and Kay Zhu.
- Join their Discord.
- Read their Blog.
- Follow Genspark on X.
- Visit their Subreddit.
In June, 2025 Genspark announced Parallel Tool Calls for AI Agents. In July Genspark shipped no-code personal agents with GPT-4.1.
- As of mid-July Genspark ranks 16th on Henry Shi’s AI Startup Leaderboard, though I don’t think that’s up to date.
There is a pop-myth that an AI native and lean startup or solopreneurmight build the next Unicorn. (Remember Base44 – an $80 million exit in six months?)

Genspark is likely to rise up this list now in 2025.
Genspark have a lot of interesting Agents
Genspark after its pivot grew its ARR reportedly reached $10 Million in 9 days. I asked my top guide maker Alex McFarland of AI Disruptor Newsletter to look into them. Alex is the author around some of our most viral guides on NotebookLM and Perplexity in particular:
- How to use NotebookLM for personalized knowledge synthesis
- How to use Perplexity in your daily workflow
- Check out our Guide section.
I’m always interested in applied AI and explore more AI tools for and with my readers.
AI Disruptor Newsletter ranks now consistently in the top rising leaderboard for Technology publications. And it’s a credit to Alex’s hands-on approach.

Daniel Nest has also been thinking about Genspark for some time:

- An AI tool guide overview is in the works on a collab with Daniel and Charlie that should come out in the coming days/weeks.

So not only does Alex make very clear guides, he has a context engineer hacker mindset that I truly appreciate. Finally he makes killer videos.
- The following guide does include a long-form video tutorial of approx 15 minutes.
- It’s a super easy way to get your feet wet on using Genspark agents.
- Genspark is shipping various agents at a frantic rate and the UX keeps changing. (I personally consider Genspark a Chinese AI startup even though they are based in California).
