Outtake, a digital trust platform protecting organisations from AI-driven impersonation, has raised a $40m Series B led by ICONIQ.
The round was led by ICONIQ, with participation from CRV and S32, alongside a group of technology and security executives investing as angel backers.
Angel investors joining the round include Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft; Nikesh Arora, CEO of Palo Alto Networks; Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Holdings; Shyam Sankar, CTO of Palantir; Trae Stephens, co-founder of Anduril; Bob McGrew, former VP of Research at OpenAI; Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel; and John Donovan, former CEO of AT&T.
Outtake said digital identity is “rapidly eroding” as AI reduces the cost and complexity of cybercrime, enabling deception to be executed faster and at greater scale across the channels organisations use to engage the public.
The company positions its platform as a single protection layer across digital identity surfaces, designed to help security teams detect, investigate and disrupt identity-based threats as coordinated campaigns rather than isolated incidents. Outtake also said it partners with enterprises to create tailored workflows intended to improve investigation and prioritisation, reduce time to takedown, and surface threats embedded in images, video and complex online ecosystems.
Outtake reported accelerating enterprise momentum, including 6x ARR growth year-on-year, more than 10x growth in enterprise customers year-on-year, and 250%+ headcount growth year-on-year, primarily across product, engineering and go-to-market functions.
It said it is trusted by Fortune 500 companies and institutions including OpenAI, Pershing Square, Fortescue, AppLovin and federal agencies, and that in 2025 it processed 17m+ alerts, completed 4m+ investigations, and achieved a median takedown time of 18–36 hours per credible threat.
Outtake’s founder and CEO, Alex Dhillon, said, “Security teams are being asked to defend trust everywhere their organization shows up online, while attackers move faster and operate across channels.
“We built Outtake because point solutions can’t keep up with AI-driven deception. Enterprises are choosing a unified platform for digital trust, and this funding allows us to scale alongside customers as that shift accelerates.”
Murali Joshi, general partner at ICONIQ and new board member at Outtake, said, “At ICONIQ, we partner with founders building enduring platforms for some of the most critical challenges enterprises face.
“Digital identity and trust are being fundamentally reshaped by AI, and we believe the team is ambitious and committed to addressing this problem. We are proud to partner with them as they continue to scale.”
