Verify is an Amsterdam-based AI startup developing algorithms that embed an invisible fingerprint into images and videos to ensure authenticity and enable tracing anywhere online. The technology is aimed at combating fake news, copyright infringement, and distinguishing human-generated from AI-generated content. Clients include Vinci Energies, Erasmus University, and the Dutch national union FNV. The company raised €1M in funding, with backers including Niels Bouwman and Chris Hall; Google has also invested and included Verify in its Google for Startups Cloud Program. Verify plans to use the funds to hire AI developers and data scientists and to expand directly in Europe and into the United States through its channel partner network. Founded on January 1, 2024 by Hugo Smits (now CTO) and led by CEO Niels Bouwman, Verify is scaling its product and commercial outreach.
