AI startup Portkey has announced a $15 million Series A funding round, with Elevation Capital leading the investment. Founded in 2023, Portkey specializes in LLMOps technology, offering enterprises a platform to efficiently manage model usage, enforce policies, and monitor spending in real time.
The funding will be used to expand Portkey’s product suite and enhance its go-to-market strategies. The startup’s LLMOps platform acts as a unified API gateway for over 1,600 AI models, enabling seamless request routing, automatic fallbacks, load balancing, and downtime prevention.
Portkey’s services include observability, guardrails, and cost management features, catering to the needs of enterprise clients. The company claims to process over 500 billion LLM tokens daily, handle $500,000 in AI spending per day across 24,000 enterprises, and manage $180 million in annualized LLM spending, positioning it as a key player in the AI management space.
This funding round follows Portkey’s previous seed funding of $3 million in 2023, showcasing steady investor confidence in the startup’s capabilities and potential for growth. The current investment surge in Indian AI startups, with over $1.8 billion raised between 2020 and 2025, signals a positive trend for the tech industry.
