Wazee Digital

What Wazee Digital does

Wazee Digital is a Denver-based technology company founded in 2003 that builds software enabling rights holders to manage and monetize their digital content assets. The company historically operated as an independent digital media asset management business, raising approximately $70.5M across four funding rounds between 2007 and 2015 from investors including Investcorp and Shamrock Capital Advisors, and executing a tactical acquisition of Panvidea in 2011 to expand its technology footprint.

In 2017, Wazee Digital was acquired by Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), an enterprise AI company headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, and now operates as a subsidiary within Veritone's aiWARE platform portfolio. aiWARE is a customizable enterprise AI operating system that tokenizes unstructured video, audio, and text data into intelligence, with the Veritone Data Refinery processing an estimated 5 trillion tokens in Q2 2025. Under Veritone, the combined offering serves three primary customer segments: commercial media (including an expanded exclusive global licensing agreement with CBS News and Stations), public sector/defense (with Illuminate, Redact, and Track AI solutions holding Awardable status on the DoD Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace), and talent acquisition (Veritone Hire for enterprises such as Domino's).

The business model combines subscription-based platform access to aiWARE, professional services for custom AI development and deployment, and content licensing revenue from exclusive media distribution agreements. Go-to-market is enterprise-led through direct field sales, supplemented by government marketplace distribution, partnerships such as MEMNON for archive management, and content licensing distribution for media rights.
