Galtea raises €2.7 million to make AI more reliable
Barcelona-based startup Galtea has secured a €2.7 million funding round to accelerate the development of its AI evaluation platform, with backing from Mozilla Ventures and other investors. The company aims to help enterprises rigorously test, monitor and improve the performance of their AI models before and after deployment.
A new layer of quality control for enterprise AI
Galtea focuses on one of the fastest-growing challenges in the sector: ensuring that AI systems are accurate, safe and aligned with business and regulatory requirements. Its platform provides automated AI evaluation, stress testing and continuous monitoring across different use cases, from customer support chatbots to internal decision-support tools.
By simulating real-world scenarios and edge cases, the platform helps teams identify issues such as biased outputs, hallucinations, security vulnerabilities and performance drift. This allows enterprises to set measurable quality benchmarks, compare different AI models, and maintain compliance as regulations on AI governance tighten across Europe and beyond.
Backed by Mozilla Ventures for responsible AI
The participation of Mozilla Ventures underscores growing investor interest in technologies that promote trustworthy and transparent AI development. The fund, known for supporting privacy- and rights-focused technologies, views evaluation and monitoring as critical infrastructure for the next wave of AI adoption.
With the new capital, Galtea plans to expand its engineering and research teams, deepen integrations with popular AI frameworks and cloud providers, and broaden its presence among European and international enterprise customers. The startup is also expected to invest in advanced benchmarking tools tailored to large language models and generative AI applications.
Positioning Barcelona as an AI quality hub
The round highlights Barcelona’s emergence as a growing hub for AI innovation. By focusing on evaluation rather than model training, Galtea is positioning itself as a neutral layer that can work across providers, helping companies adopt AI technologies with greater confidence, traceability and control.
