New Partnership with AIN Ventures and Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation to Accelerate Cerbrec's AI Innovation

Arlington, VA (February 4, 2025) – Cerbrec, a leading Virginia-based AI platform provider, announced that AIN Ventures has invested in its seed funding round. This investment will enable Cerbrec to accelerate its mission of equipping biotech and pharmaceutical companies, along with those in other industries, with cutting-edge tools for creating tailored AI solutions.

Cerbrec's flagship product, Graphbook, is an innovative drag-and-drop AI platform that allows subject matter experts to design advanced, customized AI solutions without the need for coding or prior AI development experience. Graphbook effectively tackles critical challenges in AI development, such as reducing technical barriers, shortening time to delivery, and improving AI transparency for review and documentation, all while ensuring compliance with regulations.

Cerbrec stands out in the AI landscape due to its intuitive visual programming interface while also accepting natural language queries. This combination lets non-coder users without prior AI development experience easily design complex AI workflows, and organizations quickly create and deploy AI solutions that are tailored to their specific needs and use cases. Furthermore, Cerbrec prioritizes AI model transparency, auditability, and regulatory compliance with its solution.

Seed funding will be strategically allocated to expand the Cerbrec team, focusing on engineering and customer success roles, speeding up product development and feature enhancements for Graphbook, and scaling go-to-market efforts in the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors.

AIN Ventures’ investment in Cerbrec was carried out in collaboration with Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation (VIPC)’s Virginia Venture Partners (VVP) and its Virginia Invests fund of funds initiative. Launched in 2024, Virginia Invests has taken LP positions in six fund managers, including AIN Ventures, to accelerate the infusion of capital into Virginia startups and generate new opportunities for Virginia entrepreneurs to grow and innovate. The program, powered by the U.S. Department of Treasury State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), is designed to catalyze over $250 million in investments over the next 3-5 years.

Joining AIN Ventures in Cerbrec’s funding round are SRI International, Inner Loop Capital, Gurtin Ventures, A-Level Capital, among others, underscoring strong investor confidence in Cerbrec's vision. Cerbrec is also part of the AWS Generative AI Accelerator and Techstars Boston.
