BerriAI
YC-backed startup behind LiteLLM, an open-source gateway that lets developers call 100+ LLM APIs through one OpenAI-compatible interface.
BerriAI was founded in 2023 by Krrish Dholakia and Ishaan Jaffer and went through Y Combinator's Winter 2023 (W23) batch. The company is based in San Francisco and builds tools for platform teams to manage large language model (LLM) access, spend tracking, and observability. Its core product, LiteLLM, is an open-source Python SDK and proxy server (AI gateway) that lets developers call over 100 LLM APIs, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, Bedrock, and Vertex AI, through a single OpenAI-compatible interface, with built-in cost tracking, load balancing, guardrails, and logging. BerriAI raised a seed round of roughly $2 million from investors including Y Combinator, FoundersX Ventures, Gravity Fund, Pioneer Fund, and Ripple Impact Investments. LiteLLM has become widely used in the LLM developer-tooling ecosystem.
