    Gentrace community,

    Over the course of 2023, you helped Gentrace grow from an internal tool to the generative AI evaluation platform for a number of technology companies building with generative AI.

    We now have hundreds of active users, millions of evaluated data points, and many important production LLM products built with Gentrace (we hope to share more about which ones in the new year).

    As the year closes out, we want to share a few pieces of news with you.

    First, Yongxing Deng (prev. co-founder / CTO @ Aloft, Head of Experimentation Platform @ Slack) has joined Gentrace working on product and engineering.

    Second, we are hiring exceptional founding engineers. Come define a safer and more reliable world in the age of generative AI. Learn more

    Third, customers, founders, and leaders have joined Gentrace in an angel-only fundraise, bringing our total funding to $6.25M.

    Thank you to our angels and advisors:
