Overview

• Trismik closed a £2.2 million pre-seed round led by Twinpath Ventures, with participation from Cambridge Enterprise Ventures, Parkwalk Advisors, Fund F, Vento Ventures and angels via Ventures Together.
• The platform applies Item Response Theory and Computerised Adaptive Testing to select the most informative prompts and generate interpretable ability measurements across reasoning, safety, alignment and domain knowledge.
• Early internal results indicate near-identical rankings to full evaluations using about 8.5% of questions and point to up to 95% lower costs, which the company says await broader validation.
• Early access is available now, with enterprise onboarding planned for late 2025 and a broader enterprise launch targeted for early 2026.
• Trismik cites saturation of public benchmarks and rising compliance demands, including EU AI Act requirements, and the founding team includes Nigel Collier, Rebekka Mikkola and Marco Basaldella.
