Traction so far
We’ve closed over 150 paying customers and are growing 10-15% MoM, largely driven by organic inbound traffic. The market opportunity in front of us is massive and we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to define the emerging LLM development market.
We’ve raised $5.1m to date, and are backed by top investors like Rebel Fund, Eastlink Capital, Arash Ferdowsi (co-founder of Dropbox), Dharmesh Shah (co-founder of Hubspot), Dan Scholnick (board member of Weights & Biases, Docker, New Relic), and Divya Bhat (former YC group partner, 2x CEO). We announced our fundraise on TechCrunch here: https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/11/prompt-engineering-startup-vellum-ai/
We’re excited to build our founding team. This initial team will play a key role in the long-term growth of Vellum.
