This week we’re going to be spotlighting Lastmile AI (raised $10M from Gradient Ventures), one of the Hot 100 startups selected by The AI Furnace to attend The AI Hot 100 Conference.

LastMile AI is a startup in the developer tooling space, helping developers deploy LLM applications from prototype to production. They have an all star AI/ML founding team from Meta and raised a $10M funding round from investors such as Gradient Ventures, Exceptional Capital, Guillermo Rauch, AME Cloud Ventures and more.

Since starting, they’ve partnered with amazing brands like Hugging Face, CircleCI, FinTech Innovation Lab, and The AI Aliiance to ship generative AI apps to production.
