We sent this note to our customers to let them know that Braintrust has raised a new round of funding, and thank them for their support. While the money is exciting, our focus hasn't changed: we're building Braintrust to help our customers ship quality AI products. In 2026, AI is moving to production but teams have never had less conviction about what will fail next. Our customers are building AI products that serve millions and simply need to work. If Braintrust makes their lives easier and their products better, I know we are doing our job. Thank you to @ICONIQCapital for leading our Series B, and to @a16z, @GreylockVC, @basecasevc, and @eladgil for doubling down. Thank you to the Braintrust team for all the incredible work you've done over the past year. And thank you to our customers, who have made this growth possible.

This is a major step toward culturally grounded and inclusive AI systems. Grateful to CIFAR and International Development Research Centre (IDRC) for supporting this important work. 🔗 Read more in Brock News: brocku.ca/brock-news/202… #BiasMitigation #GlobalSouth #LLMfairness
