Why are VCs paying 30–90x ARR for AEO startups when there are already 300+ competitors?

I've been going down a rabbit hole researching the AEO/GEO space (basically SEO for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.), and the valuations are honestly insane. Look at some of these companies: Profound: Raised $180M at a $1.8B valuation. Its earlier funding round implied roughly 90x revenue , and estimates around its recent valuations fall in the 60–90x range . Peec AI: Raised $21M in its Series A after hitting $4M+ ARR in just 10 months. I've seen valuation estimates in the 40

痛点：品牌和营销团队需要在ChatGPT、Gemini、Perplexity等AI搜索中监控自身曝光、引用和竞品表现，但现有AEO/GEO工具功能高度同质化且竞争极度拥挤。

目标用户：品牌营销团队、SEO/AEO代理机构、独立站和出海团队

证据：Peec AI: Raised $21M in its Series A after hitting $4M+ ARR in just 10 months. ... Searchable: Raised $14M at an $85M valuation while doing a little over $2M ARR. That's roughly 40x ARR. ... I've come across 300+ AEO/GEO-related tools ... Some have complete dashboards you can download and self-host.

变现：订阅制SaaS，按追踪prompt数、品牌数、座位数或代理商白标收费；也可做垂直行业监控报告或低价开源托管版。

MVP：2周内做一个细分行业版AEO监控：支持ChatGPT/Perplexity品牌提及、引用来源、竞品对比、每周邮件/Slack报告，先不追求全平台覆盖。

竞品：Profound、Peec AI、Searchable、300+其他AEO/GEO工具、开源自托管仪表盘

摘要：帖子指出AEO/GEO赛道已有300+工具且功能同质化，但VC仍以30-90x ARR投资；Peec AI在10个月内做到$4M+ ARR，Searchable约$2M ARR估值$85M。需求已被验证且增长快，但竞争极度拥挤，独立开发者需靠垂直细分、低价或开源差异化切入。
