Butterfly Effect, the startup behind AI upstart Manus, just put a number on its growth and it’s a big one. Co-founder Peak Ji said at an event in Singapore that the company has hit a $90 million annual revenue run rate, the first time it’s given any kind of financial peek.
Most of that money is coming from Manus, its flagship AI agent platform, though the company also counts older products like Monica in the mix. The figure shows Manus isn’t just riding hype it’s actually turning into a serious business.
That kind of traction has investors and analysts drawing comparisons with the giants of the field OpenAI, backed by Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), along with Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Anthropic. Butterfly Effect may not be a household name yet, but the revenue pace puts it firmly in the conversation with some of the most advanced players in AI.
