纽约，2025年7月10日——Vellum，领先的面向构建、测试和部署关键任务AI产品的企业开发平台，今天宣布已在A轮融资中筹集了2000万美元。本轮融资由Leaders Fund领投，Socii Capital参与投资，同时Y Combinator、Rebel Fund、Pioneer Fund和Eastlink Capital等原有投资者继续跟投。

The funding reflects growing demand from enterprises and strong customer traction, enabling Vellum to accelerate product development and expand into new verticals and global markets. The partnership with Leaders Fund, recognized for its deep expertise in enterprise go-to-market, will be instrumental in bringing Vellum’s AI development platform to more organizations worldwide..

这笔资金反映了企业日益增长的需求和强劲的客户吸引力，使Vellum能够加速产品开发并扩展到新的垂直领域和全球市场。与Leaders Fund的合作，因其在企业上市战略方面的深厚专业知识而备受认可，将在把Vellum的AI开发平台推广至全球更多组织方面发挥关键作用。

“Generative AI has captured the imagination of nearly every industry, but turning that potential into reliable, production-ready systems remains a massive challenge,” said Akash Sharma, co-founder and CEO at Vellum. “For many teams, it still feels like guesswork. Vellum changes that. We provide the infrastructure that brings rigor, predictability and repeatability to AI development, so teams can build with confidence and scale with clarity.”.

“生成式人工智能几乎吸引了每个行业的想象力，但将这种潜力转化为可靠、可投入生产的系统仍然是一个巨大的挑战，”Vellum 的联合创始人兼首席执行官 Akash Sharma 表示。“对于许多团队来说，这仍然感觉像是在碰运气。Vellum 改变了这一点。我们提供基础设施，为人工智能开发带来严谨性、可预测性和可重复性，因此团队可以满怀信心地构建，并以清晰的思路进行扩展。”

Vellum Lays the Foundation for Reliable, Scalable GenAI

Vellum 为可靠、可扩展的生成式人工智能奠定了基础

Today’s announcement reinforces Vellum’s position as the emerging standard for enterprise AI development. In a landscape where 54% of companies lack a comprehensive AI strategy¹ and 56% report immature data systems, moving from prototype to production remains a major hurdle. Vellum is uniquely positioned to help large organizations turn experimental AI efforts into scalable, measurable business outcomes.

今天的公告进一步巩固了Vellum作为企业AI开发新兴标准的地位。在54%的公司缺乏全面AI战略、56%的公司数据系统尚未成熟的情况下，从原型到生产的转化仍然是一个主要障碍。Vellum具备独特的优势，可以帮助大型组织将实验性的AI工作转化为可扩展、可衡量的商业成果。

As part of the Series A announcement, the Vellum platform is officially GA and available for teams ready to move beyond prototyping..

作为A轮融资公告的一部分，Vellum平台正式上线并可供已准备好超越原型设计的团队使用。

The platform equips cross-functional teams with a centralized control panel to orchestrate end-to-end AI workflows by connecting models, tools and business data in one place to streamline the path to production. By coupling workflow orchestration, evaluations and testing, deployment and monitoring in one platform, Vellum enables organizations to build complex AI systems that output reliable results.

该平台为跨职能团队配备了集中式控制面板，通过将模型、工具和业务数据整合在一处，协调端到端的AI工作流程，从而简化生产路径。通过在一个平台上结合工作流程编排、评估与测试、部署和监控，Vellum使组织能够构建输出可靠结果的复杂AI系统。

Vellum has become an essential infrastructure layer for companies in highly regulated industries, where security, compliance and reliability are non-negotiable..

Vellum 已成为高度监管行业中公司的关键基础设施层，在这些行业中，安全性、合规性和可靠性是不容妥协的。

“The rise of LLMs and AI has changed how software is built, but the need for reliability and structure remains the same,” said Gideon Hayden, co-founder and Managing Partner at Leaders Fund. “Most large organizations developing AI applications are stuck in the prototype phase, struggling to make AI systems reliable, repeatable and ready for production.

“大型语言模型和人工智能的兴起改变了软件的构建方式，但对可靠性和结构的需求依然不变，”Leaders Fund联合创始人兼管理合伙人吉迪恩·海登表示。“大多数开发人工智能应用的大型组织仍停留在原型阶段，难以使人工智能系统变得可靠、可重复并为生产做好准备。

Vellum’s test-driven development platform meets the moment. The team has quickly earned the trust of leading enterprise customers by solving the core challenges that slow AI development: maintaining reliability, accelerating iteration and enabling collaboration. Vellum is setting a new standard for how AI gets built, and we're proud to support that vision.”.

Vellum 的测试驱动开发平台顺应了当前需求。团队通过解决阻碍 AI 开发的核心挑战——保持可靠性、加速迭代和促进协作，迅速赢得了领先企业客户的信任。Vellum 正在为 AI 的构建方式树立新标准，我们很自豪能够支持这一愿景。

Vellum helps teams overcome the core challenges of getting AI out of prototyping and into the hands of users. The platform enables:
