Composable Secures $4M in Seed Funding led by Elaia Partners & Illuminate Financial

In a significant move to accelerate the nascent adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) within the enterprise sector, we're excited to announce a $4 million seed funding round led by Elaia Partners and Illuminate Financial, with participation from Motier Ventures, Kima Ventures, m-ai club, Super Capital, and selected business angels. Our enterprise GenAI platform helps businesses deploy LLM technology, with governance, fine-grained security, collaboration and orchestration, and an innovative LLM virtualization engine.

Seamless LLM Integration Across Models and Providers

Our enterprise LLM platform supports an extensive selection of both open-source and proprietary models like Claude, LLama2, Mistral, GPT4, and AI21, running on various providers such as OpenAI, Google VertexAI, Amazon Bedrock, Replicate, TogetherAI, and Hugging Face. Thanks to our unique abstraction and virtualization layer, enterprises can effortlessly leverage these models and providers, optimizing for both performance and cost efficiency without the complexities of direct model and provider management.

A Catalyst for LLM Adoption in Enterprises

As businesses are actively exploring integrating LLM technologies into their processes, we've designed our platform to be an essential tool for businesses exploring and experimenting with AI capabilities. The platform is equipped with tools and features that promote broad adoption, offering governance, security, collaboration, and orchestration tailored to enterprise needs. This initiative is set to ensure that businesses can fully leverage LLM technology with governance and security measures in place.

LLMs offer huge promise for enterprises across a variety of use cases, especially within the financial services sector. However the lack of supporting infrastructure remains a large barrier for their wide scale adoption. Eric and the team have a deep understanding of what is required to bring business critical platforms to market. We're excited to be partners on this journey.

— Katherine Wilson, Investment Director.

Innovative Features for Enterprise Efficiency

The platform offers a sophisticated suite of features, including Interaction Designer, Prompt Library, API Service, Automated Training, and Persistence. These tools are designed to streamline the integration of LLM technology into business processes, transitioning from basic, text-based tools to a structured, domain-specific approach. This transformation marks a significant leap towards innovation and efficiency within the enterprise sector.

We're both proud and happy to back Vertesia [Composable] which is addressing major pains: removing the friction to adopting Large Language Models, as well as reducing the cost of operation and maintenance of the exponentially growing number of applications that are leveraging LLMs. Eric has assembled a world-class team with a proven experience in delivering enterprise-grade solutions at a large scale across various verticals. We look forward to working with Vertesia's [Composable’s] stellar team to help make LLMs more pervasive while ensuring reliability, cost control and security.
