Concentrate AI: The LLM Governance Layer
True backed Ari Jacoby and Todd Lieberman before. Here's why Adam D'Augelli and the True team bet on them again — and the AI infrastructure problem they're solving at scale.
We’re excited to announce our investment in Concentrate AI – and to be working with Ari Jacoby and Todd Lieberman again.
We first backed Ari and Todd at Deduce, a cybersecurity company that used the power of identity data networks to fight fraud at scale. True led the seed round and supported the company through its acquisition by CHEQ.
Concentrate AI is a different problem entirely, but the same playbook: take something that only the largest companies in the world have figured out how to do well, and make it available to everyone.
Every company building on AI today is navigating the same set of decisions in parallel - which models to use, how to govern spend, how to protect sensitive data, how to stay compliant - and most are solving it from scratch.
Concentrate gives engineering teams a single API to access every major LLM across 160+ frontier and open source providers, with guardrails, governance, token budgets, automatic failover, auditing, and sensitive data protection built in — saving time, reducing spend, and removing the compliance risk that comes with building these systems yourself.
At True, we want to have the best investment product for creative technical founders at the earliest stages of company creation – and when we find these founders, we want to back them for their entire careers: one company, two, or more.
Ari and Todd join the 50 other founders we’ve backed more than once at True — and we couldn't be more excited to support them on what comes next.
And if you're building with AI, and want to be buttoned-up so you can sell into big customers, try it at concentrate.ai.
