## About

Based in California, US, and co-founded by Shreya Rajpal (CEO) in 2023, Guardrails AI, Inc. operates as a developer of information validators. In February 2024, the firm raised USD 7.5 million in seed funding led by investor Zetta Venture Partners, with participation from other investors Factory, Pear VC, Bloomberg Beta, and GitHub, Inc.

The company addresses the critical need for validation and risk reduction in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI technologies. Guardrails AI offers Guardrails, an open-source product designed to act as a critical reliability layer for AI applications, ensuring they adhere to specified guidelines and norms. Guardrails Hub, another offering, provides developers with a platform to build, contribute, share, and reuse advanced validation techniques known as validators. These validators can range from simple rule-based checks to complex machine learning algorithms, empowering developers to enforce correctness guarantees and risk boundaries essential for their applications.

The company plans to utilize the February 2024 funding to support the growth of its manpower and project.
