Loti Secures Additional Funding for Battle Against Online Identity Theft
Seattle-based startup Loti has secured additional funding from prominent Silicon Valley investor Khosla Ventures, bringing their seed round total to $6.65 million.
Launched in 2022, Loti provides public figures with a comprehensive solution for detecting and combating online impersonation, deepfakes, and unauthorized use of their likenesses. The company leverages advanced facial and voice recognition technology to analyze authentic images, videos, and audio provided by its clients.
Loti’s innovative system scans the internet for potential deepfakes, impersonator accounts, or other unauthorized content. This allows public figures to proactively identify and pursue takedown requests for such infringements.
The seed round was spearheaded by Seattle-based venture capital firm FUSE and Bling Capital, a venture capital firm with a growing footprint in the Seattle region.
Luke Arrigoni, Loti’s CEO, brings a wealth of experience in AI and entertainment to the company. Prior to founding Loti, he led an AI consulting firm for a decade and held a data science role at Creative Artists Agency. Joining him in the venture are Rebekah Arrigoni and Hirak Chhatbar, both renowned serial entrepreneurs.
