Very excited to share Galileo ??'s $45M series B led by Scale Venture Partners, with participation from Premji Invest as well as partners Databricks Ventures, Citi Ventures, Amex Ventures, ServiceNow Ventures, SentinelOne, and existing investors Battery Ventures, Walden Catalyst Ventures and Factory. Clem Delangue ?? from Hugging Face and Ankit Sobti from Postman participated as well. Atindriyo Sanyal, Yash Sheth and I started Galileo in May 2021 with a singular focus: ???? ?????????? ????'?? ?????????????? ?????????????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ???????????????? ?????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ????????????. Over the past two years, it has been incredible to see Language Models not only become more popular, but become a powerful OS that developers are building with! Yet, with human vibe checks (still?) being the first line of evaluation defense, AI's measurement problem is more critical to solve than ever before. Since our Series A two years ago, we have been hard at work across 3 fronts: 1?? ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ???? ???????????????????? ???????????????? You cannot evaluate what you cannot measure. To give our users best in class evaluations, we have invested millions of $$ into LLM evaluation research. Galileo’s Luna Evaluation Models have emerged as the core need for AI developers. 2?? ???????????????? ?? ???????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????? ?????? ???????????? ???? ???????????????? ?????????????????????? ?????????????????? With Galileo AI developers can go from fine-tuning LLMs with high quality data, to evaluating complex AI systems, to monitoring them in production at scale, to providing a proactive AI firewall against user harm. It was essential to take an end to end approach to truly provide user value. 3?? ???????????????? ?? ?????????? ???????????????? ?????? ?????? ???????? ???????? Over the past 12 months, revenue has grown 843%, dozens of customers have come onboard, including Twilio, Chegg, ServiceTitan, as well as 6 of the Fortune 50 (in a fraction of the avg deal cycle). Unlike other 'GenAI-native' startups, we don’t have sky-high compute costs and crazy valuations – we’re?building a business for the long term, with 80%+ gross margins. ?? We have some exciting product launches to announce during Galileo Productionize on Oct 29. Would love to see you there: https://lnkd.in/eVH49zde NONE of this would be possible without the fearless team of Galileans ??! Everyday I am totally blown away by their smarts, camaraderie, grit, ideas and humor. We’re growing (highly selectively) across engineering, AI research, sales, marketing, ops and customer success.
