Seattle startup Loti announced that it raised new investment from Silicon Valley mainstay Khosla Ventures.
Founded in 2022, Loti helps public figures scour the internet for fake social media accounts, fake endorsements, or deepfakes that misuse their likeness.
It uses advanced facial and voice recognition software to analyze real photos, video and audio from their customers. Its system then searches for potential deepfakes or other unauthorized content such as impersonation accounts, and can send takedown requests.
With the latest investment, Loti’s seed round tops out at $6.65 million. GeekWire previously reported on the initial $5.1 million raise.
The seed round was led by Seattle-area firm FUSE, as well as Bling Capital, which has a growing presence in the Seattle region.
Loti CEO Luke Arrigoni previously ran an AI consulting firm for a decade and was a data scientist for Creative Artists Agency. He founded Loti with Rebekah Arrigoni and serial entrepreneur Hirak Chhatbar.
