Perplexity has just announced "The Billion Dollar Build," a high-stakes, eight-week competition designed for the next generation of founders and engineers.
The mission? To leverage Perplexity Computer—their advanced AI agent capability—to build a company with a legitimate path to a $1 billion valuation.
This isn't just a hackathon; it’s a launchpad for autonomous, agent-led businesses. Here is what’s on the line for those who can push the boundaries of what AI agents can do:
âś… Significant Funding: Finalists are eligible for up to $1 million in investment from the Perplexity Fund.
âś… Massive Infrastructure: Access to up to $1 million in Perplexity Computer credits to power and scale your development.
âś… The Challenge: Participants must use autonomous agents that can navigate and operate computer interfaces to solve complex, high-value problems.
🤝 Let’s Build Together
I am looking to dive into this challenge and explore the possibilities of agentic AI. If you are a developer, strategist, or innovator who wants to collaborate on building a scalable, high-impact venture for this competition, **DM me! Let’s form a team and see if we can build the next unicorn.
