imper.ai is a New York-based cybersecurity company that builds an identity verification platform purpose-built for the workforce. It prevents impersonation and account takeover across the employee lifecycle - from hiring to help desk account recovery - by pairing an Impersonation Detection Engine that reads hundreds of network, device, and behavioral signals with an AI-driven contextual verification layer that confirms the real person behind a session using role-specific questions that cannot be sourced from breached data. Founded in 2024 by veterans of Israel's Unit 8200, the company launched publicly in December 2025 with $28M in total funding backed by Redpoint Ventures and Battery Ventures.
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.
