Veritone

What Veritone does

Veritone (NASDAQ: VERI) is an enterprise AI software company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Irvine, California. Its core offering, the aiWARE platform, is an AI operating system that orchestrates more than 300 AI engines across 20+ cognitive categories to process audio, video, text, image, and structured data in 110+ languages and 70+ transcription dialects. The platform supports application products including Digital Media Hub for media asset management, the iDEMS suite for public safety and law enforcement, Veritone Hire (including the Broadbean recruitment distribution network), Veritone Data Refinery, Veritone Voice synthetic media, and the Veritone Data Marketplace for rights-cleared AI training data.

Veritone generates revenue through multi-year enterprise SaaS subscriptions, usage-based token pricing for the Veritone Data Refinery and Data Marketplace, content licensing, and channel-based recruitment services sold via Broadbean's integration with 120+ ATS and CRM platforms. Its customer base of 3,000+ spans media and entertainment (NCAA, CBS, Washington Post), U.S. federal, state, and local government including the Department of Defense and Air Force, legal eDiscovery, talent acquisition, sports, and education. The company is FedRAMP Moderate authorized and CJIS compliant, which underpins its public-sector positioning.

The business is currently navigating a transitional period: Q1 2026 revenue of $20.26M declined 9.81% year-over-year while management guides FY2026 revenue to $130M-$145M, and the company raised approximately $75M via a registered direct offering in October 2025. Concurrent Q2/Q3 2025 financial restatements and multiple securities class action filings in April 2026 introduce governance and execution risk against the backdrop of strategic initiatives including the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure migration, the Data Marketplace launch, the Washington Post licensing deal, and the VERI AI Agent product release.
