Outtake has announced the closing of a $40 million Series B funding round led by ICONIQ Capital, marking a significant step in its mission to build a unified platform for digital trust in the age of artificial intelligence. The investment will fuel the company’s efforts to develop tools that verify and authenticate digital content, helping combat misinformation, deepfakes, and AI-generated fraud. Outtake’s platform uses advanced AI and cryptographic techniques to create tamper-proof digital provenance for videos, images, and audio. By embedding verifiable metadata at the moment of creation, the technology allows users and organizations to confirm the authenticity and origin of digital media—critical in an era where synthetic content is increasingly indistinguishable from real. The company’s technology is already being adopted by media organizations, government agencies, and enterprises seeking to maintain credibility and transparency in their communications. With the new capital, Outtake plans to expand its product offerings, enhance its AI detection capabilities, and scale its enterprise and public sector partnerships. “Trust is the foundation of the digital economy,” said Outtake CEO and co-founder, Daniel S. H. L. Chua. “As AI continues to reshape how content is created and shared, we need systems that can verify what’s real. This investment from ICONIQ Capital will help us build the infrastructure for digital trust at scale.” ICONIQ Capital’s lead role in the round underscores growing investor confidence in solutions that address the integrity of digital information. The firm has a track record of backing companies at the intersection of technology and societal impact. Other participants in the Series B include existing investors such as CRV, Founders Fund, and SignalFire, who also contributed to the round. The funding follows a strong year of growth for Outtake, including expanded client deployments and key partnerships with major news outlets and digital infrastructure providers. As AI-generated content becomes more pervasive across social media, advertising, and political discourse, Outtake’s platform is positioned to become a foundational tool for verifying authenticity across industries. The company says it is now focused on making digital provenance a standard feature in content creation workflows worldwide.
