Black Pearl Group Limited (NZX:BPG) has announced that Bebop, its latest AI-driven sales enablement product, has reached $1.2 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just 45 days - making it the fastest-growing product in the company's history. Bebop achieved this milestone at twice the speed of Pearl Diver, itself a standout performer with $10 million of ARR within 24 months.

Most SMEs have been locked out of high-quality sales intelligence - legacy platforms like ZoomInfo, Clearbit, and Apollo are built for enterprise and priced accordingly. Bebop changes that. In just seconds, this AI sales agent scans millions of US-based companies to deliver a hyper-targeted list of verified decision-makers, complete with personalised strategic dossiers.

“Bebop is like ChatGPT, but specifically built for sales and revenue growth. This is one of the fastest go-to-market trajectories we’ve seen across the SaaS and AI landscape, and customers have rapidly validated our value proposition. We hit it out of the park with Pearl Diver, so it’s extremely exciting to see Bebop overtake its impressive early adoption. Bebop’s traction validates our core thesis: that speed, usability, and value drive adoption. And our platform was built to scale these advantages, fast” comments Nick Lissette, Chief Executive Officer

Faster and more intelligent for a fraction of the cost

Bebop delivers enterprise-grade sales intelligence at a fraction of the cost of other platforms - finally making AI-powered sales intelligence accessible to the SME market.

“There’s rising demand for AI-native, cost-effective sales tools that solve real SME challenges. With Bebop, we imagined unlocking unlimited revenue opportunities and cutting-edge business intelligence. Early customer feedback highlights Bebop’s ability to “save hours in research,” “generate customers effortlessly,” and “bring the power of AI to the everyday business owner”. That’s real results; and a real threat to Silicon Valley sales giants,” believes Lissette.

He adds that this previous generation of B2B tools relies on SQL queries over large databases, with apps designed to make that experience as seamless as possible.

“Bebop has intelligence at its core - genuinely understanding what a business provides and exactly who needs it. Our product delivers a fundamentally different experience that unlocks deep insights that fuel measurable revenue growth.”

Doubling down on AI’s potential

Bebop was developed and taken to market in just 90 days. This was only possible because of years of investment into Blackpearl Group’s proprietary software and data platform - formally known as Pearl Engine - a testament to the company’s rapid innovation and robust technology infrastructure.

“That conviction has been validated. The results show Bebop is not just viable – it’s a force multiplier for BPG’s revenue growth. It now stands alongside Pearl Diver as a key driver in our product portfolio, reinforcing our strategy of building scalable, high-impact tools for customer acquisition,” reiterates Lissette. “Bebop’s rapid market-fit means our line of sight on $20M ARR is even clearer. And this also will greatly contribute to our medium target of $50M ARR.”

“We have deliberately invested since our capital raise intovplatform development and talent acquisition. The vision and engine is working. Our investment and market timing have aligned. With two products both demonstrating scale and demand, we’re well positioned for sustained growth,” concludes Karen Cargill, Interim Chief Financial Officer
