In a move that underscores the accelerating demand for robust, enterprise-grade artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, Centific has just closed a transformative $60 million Series A funding round. The round, led by Jenny Lee of Granite Asia—a Midas List investor with a track record of backing tech unicorns—positions Centific as a critical enabler in the next generation of global agentic AI systems.
Founded in 2020, Centific has quietly become the backbone for some of the world’s most advanced AI models, working behind the scenes with leading AI labs, model builders, and Fortune 500 companies. Their technology isn’t just about training models—it’s about deploying them safely, at scale, and with the kind of governance that enterprises require as AI transitions from experimental projects to mission-critical systems.
With this new capital, Centific is set to expand its role as an independent AI data foundry, powering everything from foundational models to multimodal and agentic AI platforms. These platforms aren’t just smart—they perceive, reason, and act autonomously, opening the door to real-world applications that were once the stuff of science fiction.
Centific’s platform stands out for its ability to orchestrate complex AI workflows across text, image, video, audio, 3D, and spatial data. Their global network of domain experts, combined with human-in-the-loop quality assurance, ensures that AI deployments are not only fast and scalable but also safe, unbiased, and compliant with regulatory standards.
Key features of the Centific AI Data Foundry include:
Infrastructure-agnostic deployment: Seamlessly scales across cloud, core, edge, and far-edge environments.
High-precision model training: Workflow-driven datasets fine-tune large language models (LLMs) and domain-specific agents with unmatched accuracy.
Optimized AI inferencing: Low-latency, high-assurance pipelines for vision and language AI in production.
Agentic AI experiences: Digital twins, avatars, and multi-agent coordination bring physical AI to life.
Governance and risk mitigation: Built-in human validation, synthetic data controls, and audit-ready compliance workflows at every stage.
Centific’s technology is already trusted by the “Magnificent Seven” (the world’s leading tech giants), top AI labs, and Fortune 500 companies. Their partnerships with NVIDIA, Microsoft, AWS, Dell, and Lenovo highlight their central role in the AI ecosystem. Notably, Centific was recently spotlighted by NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang at both CES and GTC, reinforcing its leadership in real-world vision and language AI inferencing.
With this funding, Centific is doubling down on four strategic priorities:
Expand platform functionality: Accelerate the journey from prototype to production for resilient, agile AI systems.
Supercharge R&D: Push the frontiers of model architectures, vision AI, and specialized AI.
Scale the enterprise AI backbone: Cement Centific’s position as the go-to partner for mission-critical AI deployments.
Amplify ecosystem alliances: Deepen collaborations with leading tech and GPU-as-a-service providers to drive global adoption.
As enterprises worldwide shift from AI experimentation to full-scale deployment, the need for secure, scalable, and sovereign AI infrastructure is surging. Centific is uniquely positioned to lead this charge, building an ecosystem that brings together top talent, robust platforms, and cutting-edge technology to power the next generation of AI-driven innovation.
For tech leaders, data scientists, and enterprise decision-makers, Centific’s latest funding round signals a pivotal moment: the maturation of agentic AI from research labs into the fabric of everyday business operations. With its focus on safety, speed, and scale, Centific is not just a vendor—it’s a foundational partner shaping the future of AI.
