Graft, a San Francisco, CA-based startup that emerged from stealth to put modern AI within reach of every organization, raised USD 4.5 million in Pre Seed funding.
The round was led by GV with participation from NEA, Essence VC, Formulate Ventures and SV Angel.

- Maria Kazandjieva (former director of engineering at Netflix),
- Eric Schkufza (former principal scientist at Amazon),
- Mick Hakobyan (distinguished tenures at Meta, Netflix and Microsoft),
