BOSTON, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — VerAI Discoveries (VerAI), a pioneering AI-driven mineral asset company, is pleased to announce a $24 million first closing of its Series B round. The investment was led by Insight Partners, a global software investor specializing in high-growth technology and software investments, with continued support from existing investors Blumberg Capital, Chrysalix Venture Capital, and Orion Industrial Ventures. The new capital will help accelerate the testing and economic development of VerAI’s 60+ mineral projects with its exploration and development partners, while expanding the company’s portfolio and continuing to refine and advance its platform.

“This is a pivotal moment for VerAI,” said Yair Frastai, CEO and Co-Founder of VerAI Discoveries. “This new round of funding endorses our proprietary and validated AI-driven discovery platform that has generated a portfolio of high-probability mineral projects in underexplored covered terrains, while unlocking substantial value in resource development in an industry that has long relied on traditional exploration methods. We welcome Insight Partners’ support and the continued support of our existing investors, which allows us to drive innovation and develop our asset portfolio to meet the global demand for critical minerals.”

VerAI’s proprietary AI Discovery Platform is engineered to identify concealed deposits of critical minerals with high levels of accuracy. Unlike conventional exploration methods, VerAI technology detects hidden mineralization beneath covered terrains, including dense forests, ice sheets, gravel layers, and young rock formations – reducing risk and cost while increasing the likelihood of discovery.

Jeff Horing, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Insight Partners, will be joining VerAI’s Board of Directors. “VerAI Discoveries is helping unlock value in the mineral exploration sector, an area where innovation has traditionally lagged,” said Horing. “Their AI platform can transform how the world discovers and develops critical mineral resources essential for global economic growth, energy independence, and advanced defense solutions. We are excited to partner with VerAI’s strong leadership team as they scale their technology.”
