Poke
Acquired · The Interaction Company / Cognition · Palo Alto, CA
Proactive personal assistant in Messages, WhatsApp and Telegram. It uses connected email, calendars and other services to run recurring recipes, send reminders and carry out everyday tasks.
Last private valuation: $300M post-money after a $10M round backed by Spark Capital and General Catalyst, on top of a $15M seed in 2025 (TechCrunch, April 8, 2026). This is not the acquisition price: Cognition bought the company in July 2026 in a deal TechCrunch described only as "low nine figures". No parent-company valuation is assigned to Poke.
Why this figure?
Stated in the cited reporting or company announcement.
Post-money valuation is the price implied by the last priced round, not a current market value. On the map, bubble area is proportional to it.
For an acquired company this is the last private-round valuation, not the acquisition price.
