Verta, a Palo Alto, California-based AI/ML startup, has announced  that it’s raised $10 million in Series A funding led by Intel Capital, which was joined by venture capital firm General Catalyst. The Series A coincides with Verta’s launch of its first formal product, which is a data science platform that helps enterprises harness data models. Before now, Verta had been in apparent stealth mode, propped up by seed funding from General Catalyst.

Verta was notably founded by Manasi Vartak, an engineer also known for creating ModelDB, an open source modern model management system. Vartak is an alumnus of MIT’s CSAIL lab and companies including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter. Backed by Intel Capital and General Catalyst, she’s seemingly out on a mission to solve a key pain-point for enterprises, which is harnessing artificial intelligence and machine learning to deploy data models.
