Cohere's $100M Revenue Milestone
Cohere has reached a significant financial milestone, achieving $100 million in annualized revenue as of May 2025, doubling its revenue since the beginning of the year.12 This growth stems from the company's strategic pivot in Q3 2024 toward private deployments tailored for regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and government.13 Approximately 85% of Cohere's revenue now comes from these private deployments, which boast impressive 80% profit margins.1
The journey to this milestone shows accelerating growth, with revenue increasing from $30 million in 2024 to $70 million in early 2025 before reaching the $100 million mark.456 While this achievement represents significant progress, it falls considerably short of the company's ambitious internal projections-a 2023 pitch deck revealed Cohere had expected to generate $444.3 million in annualized revenue by December 2024.7 Nevertheless, Radical Ventures managing partner Jordan Jacobs celebrated the achievement, calling Cohere "one of the fastest growing enterprise software companies ever."7

Ottogrid's Document Analysis Capabilities
Ottogrid's platform excels in document analysis through AI-powered capabilities that allow users to process large volumes of documents and extract key insights within minutes12. The system can automatically read through PDFs, text files, and other document formats, pulling out essential information and organizing it into a structured table format without requiring manual review34.
At the core of Ottogrid's document processing functionality is its ability to:
-
Extract structured data from unstructured documents4
-
Generate summaries and insights from document content1
-
Process documents in batch for efficient analysis3
-
Organize extracted information into customizable tables2
-
Support multiple document formats for versatile application1
This technology significantly reduces the time professionals spend on manual document review, allowing teams to focus on analyzing insights rather than gathering information4. The document analysis capabilities complement Ottogrid's other features like web scraping and list enrichment, creating a comprehensive research automation solution that Cohere now plans to integrate into its North platform5.

Integration with North Platform
Cohere's acquisition of Ottogrid will significantly enhance North's capabilities by integrating Ottogrid's specialized market research automation into Cohere's secure AI workspace. This strategic combination will allow North users to leverage Ottogrid's cell-based AI agents-where "every cell in OttoGrid acts as its own independent AI agent"-for web research, URL scraping, company enrichment, and document analysis directly within North's secure environment.12
The integration aligns perfectly with North's mission as an "all-in-one secure AI workspace" that combines large language models, intelligent search, and automation tools.34 By incorporating Ottogrid's research automation capabilities, North will expand its enterprise offerings beyond its current strengths in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and customizable AI workflows. This enhancement is particularly valuable for North's target industries including finance, healthcare, and retail, where the platform already outperforms competitors like Microsoft Copilot and Google Vertex AI in benchmark tests for enterprise use cases.56
