Gentrace, a San Francisco, CA-based developer of a platform for testing and monitoring generative AI applications, raised $8M in Series A funding.
The round was led by Matrix Partners, with participation from Headline and K9 Ventures. Angel investors and advisors included industry leaders from Linear, Figma, Handshake, Webflow, Gem, Chronosphere, Ironclad, and Asana (NYSE: ASAN).

The platform’s end-to-end solution encompasses a purpose-built testing environment that models real-world applications, comprehensive analytics to assess AI model performance, and Gentrace’s newly launched Experiments, enabling cross-functional teams to:
- Test AI outputs directly within Gentrace’s interface.
- Preview test outcomes before deployment.
- Anticipate errors and explore “what-if” scenarios.
- Integrate seamlessly with existing workflows or tools like OpenAI, Pinecone and Rivet.
