Draft:Braintrust

  • Comment: May be notable, thanks for not going overboard on this submission. We're going to need 3 sources that pass WP:NCORP. Forbes 1 is written by former staff, so that's 1. No consensus on if TechCrunch and VentureBeat are reliable. TechCrunch 2 is passing mention, Forbes list is passing mention. Is there a second and third article that will clearly qualify beyond the first Forbes? Caleb Stanford (talk) 14:59, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: We need multiple independent secondary sources with in depth coverage. These appear to be lacking here. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:00, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: In accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, I disclose that I have been paid by my employer for my contributions to this article. Ornella94107 (talk) 22:21, 14 August 2025 (UTC)


Braintrust is an artificial intelligence evaluation and observability platform.[1][2][3]

History

edit source

Braintrust was founded by Ankur Goyal in August 2023.[2][3] Goyal had previously founded the AI company Impira, which was acquired by Figma in 2022,[2] and served as Head of ML Platform at Figma.[3] Braintrust was initially incubated by angel investor Elad Gil.[2]

In December 2023, Braintrust raised $5.1 million in a seed funding round led by Greylock Partners.[3] Angel investors included Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Adam D'Angelo of Quora, and Clem Delangue of Hugging Face.[2]

In October 2024, Braintrust raised $36 million in a Series A funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz, which valued the company at $150 million.[1][4] Existing investors Greylock and Elad Gil participated in the round, along with Datadog, Databricks Ventures, Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Simon Last (Notion), Bryan Helmig (Zapier), and Arthur Mensch (Mistral AI).[1][4] This brought the company's total funding to $45 million.[1]

Braintrust has received coverage from Forbes,[1] TechCrunch,[2][5] VentureBeat,[3] and other technology media.[6][7] The company and its founder have been featured in extended interviews and technical discussions, including on The Peel podcast with Turner Novak,[8] Scaling DevTools,[9] No Priors with Elad Gil,[10] and the Latent Space podcast.[11] In 2025, Braintrust was named to Forbes' Next Billion Dollar Startups list[12] and Redpoint Ventures' InfraRed 100.[13]
