About

Charli AI came out of stealth in November 2019 with a chat-driven workflow automation product, built on what founder Kevin Collins described as a different approach to training data — less hardcoded and rigid than the workflow tools then on the market. It has since moved to enterprise AI governance, positioning itself as the forensic control layer over AI agents: profile, trace, control, prove. It now lists offices in Vancouver and New York and sells into regulated industries. Collins came to it from Bit Stew Systems, the Vancouver industrial-data company he co-founded and GE Digital acquired in 2016.

Backers

$1.6M seed in spring 2019 from Yaletown Venture Partners and BDC Capital; later rounds not confirmed
