Investment firms Lightspeed Venture Partners and Walden Catalyst Ventures led a $30m funding round in Virtue AI, an AI safety and security firm, with participation from Prosperity7, Factory, Osage University Partners, Lip-Bu Tan, Amarjit Gill and Chris Re. “We saw companies struggling with the same challenges repeatedly—subpar evaluation methods, inefficient guardrails, and manual processes that created bottlenecks in AI deployment pipelines,” “Our team has dedicated decades to solving these exact problems. Virtue AI transforms that expertise into practical solutions that eliminate the false choice between innovation and safety," Bo Li, Virtue AI co-founder and CEO.
