Trismik secures £2.2m in pre seed funding led by Twinpath Ventures to launch its AI evaluation platform.
The pre seed round was led by Twinpath Ventures with participation from a syndicate of institutional and angel investors.
Trismik is a Cambridge based startup developing science grade evaluation infrastructure for artificial intelligence systems. Its platform applies psychometric methods to measure model capabilities with high precision and speed.
Trismik has secured £2.2m in pre seed funding led by Twinpath Ventures, with participation from Cambridge Enterprise Ventures, Parkwalk Advisors, Fund F, Vento Ventures and angel investors from Ventures Together. The capital will be deployed to launch its evaluation product for artificial intelligence builders, supporting popular public datasets covering factuality, alignment and safety. The Cambridge founded startup applies psychometric methods and computerised adaptive testing to measure model capabilities, offering significant cost and time reductions compared with traditional benchmarking approaches.
From the founder
"If we want to trust AI, our methods have to be as rigorous as our ideas. Benchmark saturation is creating problems in every domain, from general knowledge, to reasoning, math, and coding. Scientists, researchers and technical teams face mounting pressure as evaluation is exploding in importance and has become essential for tying AI to trust. We need an evaluation framework that scales and can support this."
Nigel Collier
Chief Scientific Officer at Trismik
Investor perspective
"The AI evaluation market is at an inflection point. Every AI team we speak with is drowning in evaluation overhead, it has become the hidden bottleneck preventing teams from shipping faster and with confidence. Trismik’s approach is compelling because it applies proven scientific methods from a completely different domain to solve this problem. When you can reduce evaluation time by two orders of magnitude while actually increasing measurement precision, you fundamentally change what’s possible in AI development cycles."
