Vals is addressing a measurement gap: public AI tests can leak into training data or be optimized against, while enterprises and governments need credible evidence about how models perform on consequential, real-world work. The company says its revenue has grown eightfold versus 2025, its customer base has doubled, and its team has grown from eight to 25 people, while the $40 million Series A funds expansion of independent testing, enterprise acquisition, and specialized evaluation pipelines.
