Veris AI Emerges from Stealth With a $8.5M Series Seed Financing

Gunderson Dettmer represented client Veris AI, a platform that allows companies to safely train and test AI agents through novel high-fidelity simulated experiences, in its emergence from stealth mode and the closing of its $8.5 million Series Seed financing. The round was co-led by Decibel Ventures and Acrew Capital.

Veris AI offers enterprises a safe, dynamic environment for AI agents to learn through real-world experience, enabling reinforcement learning and continuous improvement. By bridging the gap between advanced AI models and enterprise-ready agents, Veris accelerates the development of accurate, compliant, and scalable AI solutions.

In the announcement of the transaction, CEO and Co-founder of Veris Mehdi Jamei said, “We started Veris after observing that the traditional ways we train machine learning models just don’t work for AI agents. Similar to how self-driving cars needed simulated cities to become production-ready, AI agents need real experience. There’s a paradigm shift taking place right now in which AI learns by interacting with the world directly, rather than solely relying on human-generated data. We are building Veris to unlock the potential of agentic AI for enterprises – both by solving existing problems and improving the speed and quality in which new agents can come into production.”

The Gunderson deal team was led by Ibrahim Elshamy.
