TrustedRouter Raises $1.3M Seed for Privacy-First AI Routing Platform

TrustedRouter, a Miami-based privacy-first AI routing platform, has raised $1.3 million in seed funding. The round includes participation from Sam Lessin, Bill Tai, Linda Avey, and George Xing. The company, operated by Lore Hex Corp, is in public beta and has processed over 1 billion tokens in a single day.

What TrustedRouter Does

TrustedRouter provides a unified API that gives businesses access to more than 600 AI models from over 80 providers. Instead of being locked into a single vendor, companies can route each query to the model that best fits their needs and budget. The platform is designed to be OpenAI-compatible, making integration straightforward.

Privacy and Security Focus

A key differentiator is its privacy-first architecture. The gateway is fully open-source and uses confidential computing and remote attestation to ensure that prompt content is never logged. The router itself cannot read customer traffic, addressing a major concern for enterprises handling sensitive data.

Funding and Growth

The seed round will support the company's continued development and expansion. TrustedRouter has been in public beta since May 2026 and has already demonstrated significant traction with over 1 billion tokens processed in a single day. The backing from notable investors signals confidence in the platform's approach to secure AI routing.
