Trase

Trase is a governed agentic AI platform that deploys, secures, and orchestrates AI agents for heavily regulated industries such as healthcare and national security, keeping customer data under the customer's control. It targets enterprises where compliance and implementation complexity have blocked AI adoption.

Trase, which emerged from stealth in June 2026 with a $10.5 million pre-seed round, is a governed agentic AI platform built for organizations in highly regulated sectors like healthcare, government, and defense. Rather than a single chatbot, Trase provides an operating system for AI agents built around compliance, governance, and configurability: a pre-built agent marketplace (Trase Leagues), an SDK for building custom agents (Trase Arena), and deployment across cloud, on-premises, and edge devices, including environments with no internet connectivity and hardware ranging from laptops to smart glasses. The platform is LLM-agnostic and keeps data under client control, and the company says customers can be live in production within 30 days. Early results include Duke Health, which used Trase to cut prescription-refill turnaround time roughly threefold for a reported $193,000 in annual savings and 5,490 hours saved, and an active U.S. Navy contract. Founded in 2025 by Grant Verstandig and Joe Laws and led with president Baskar Sridharan (a former AWS VP of AI/ML), Trase raised its round from Red Cell Partners and Virginia Venture Partners.
