Centific, an AI Data Foundry used by the world’s top model builders, AI labs, and enterprise innovators, announced the close of its $60 million Series A funding round led by long-time Midas Lister Jenny Lee of Granite Asia.
Launched in 2020, Centific has operated behind the scenes to power many of the world’s most transformative AI breakthroughs. Now the company equips innovators with the infrastructure, oversight, and deep expertise required to develop and safely deploy foundational models, multimodal systems, and next-generation agentic AI; intelligent platforms that perceive, reason, and act at scale.
Centific’s AI Data Foundry combines a global network of experts across thousands of domains in STEM, vertical and professional, and consumer and lifestyle, human-in-the-loop assurance with built-in QA checkpoints and escalation paths to eliminate bias, hallucinations, and failures, true multimodal orchestration supporting complex prompts across text, image, video, audio, 3D, and spatial data, and unmatched speed and scalability to deploy, localize, and contextualize AI at the enterprise, citywide, and national levels.
NVIDIA partner: Centific is a recognized innovation partner to NVIDIA, and it was selected for its leadership in real-world Vision and Language AI inferencing. The company was also recently featured by Jensen Huang at both CES and GTC as a leading innovation partner, emphasizing its role in helping scale AI from prototype to production.
How the funding will be used: Centific is channeling this new capital into four key areas, including expanding functionality, advancing R&D frontiers, scaling enterprise AI backbones, and enhancing ecosystem alliances.
