Clarity
Clarity is an AI cybersecurity company that detects deepfakes, voice clones, and synthetic identities. Founded in 2022 by alumni of Israel's 8200 unit and Stanford, it began as a broad deepfake-forensics platform and has sharpened into hiring security - an end-to-end overlay that verifies applications, spots manipulated faces and voices in live video interviews, and flags proxy candidates before a fraudster ever gets onboarded. It raised a $16M seed in 2024 led by Walden Catalyst Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners.

Alex Dhillon
Alex Dhillon is the founder and CEO of Outtake, a New York-based cybersecurity company building autonomous AI agents that detect, investigate, and remove digital threats like impersonation, phishing, and brand abuse in hours rather than weeks. A UC Berkeley triple major who spent nearly five years at Palantir on its experimental product team reporting to the CEO and CTO, Dhillon left in 2023 to bet that security needed a reset built around agents instead of alerts. Outtake has raised over $56 million across its rounds, counts OpenAI, AppLovin, Pershing Square, and federal agencies among its customers, and is backed by Iconiq, CRV, and angels including Satya Nadella, Nikesh Arora, Bill Ackman, and Shyam Sankar.
Outtake
Outtake is an AI cybersecurity company that deploys autonomous agents to detect, investigate, and dismantle digital threats - impersonation, phishing, fake domains, cloned apps, malicious ads, and deepfakes - across the open web, social platforms, app stores, and the dark web. Founded in 2023 by ex-Palantir engineer Alex Dhillon, the New York company turns threat detection-to-takedown into a single automated workflow, averaging takedowns in about 14 hours, and protects brands including OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Anthropic.
Derek Smith
Derek Smith is a four-time serial entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of Mimic, a Palo Alto-based cybersecurity company building ransomware detection and deflection technology that operates at the kernel level. He previously co-founded Oakley Networks (the first data leakage prevention company, acquired by Raytheon in 2007) and Shape Security (the first bot-defense company, acquired by F5 for $1 billion in 2020), and served as Senior Advisor for Cyber-Policy in the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon. Mimic has raised $77 million in total funding, including a $50M Series A led by GV and Menlo Ventures.
