Plato

Plato is a San Francisco company that builds simulated workplaces - realistic, repeatable training environments where AI models can learn and be evaluated on real occupational tasks before running in live systems. Co-founded by CEO Robert Farlow and CTO Pranav Putta, it works with AI labs on reinforcement learning and evaluation, recreating the tools, decisions and constraints of actual jobs with input from domain experts. The company is backed by Nava Ventures, Gradient Ventures, Transpose Platform and angel investor Mustafa Suleyman, with total funding of USD 19 million following a Gradient Ventures-led seed.
