Vouched, a company focused on AI-based identity and agent verification, has announced the closing of its Series A funding round, raising $17 million in new capital. Spring Rock Ventures led the round.
As AI agents become more embedded in business operations and consumer experiences, the need for robust identity verification and behavioral monitoring has never been more urgent. Vouched is stepping into that space with a clear mission: to build the infrastructure that ensures trust, transparency, and accountability in agent-driven ecosystems.
This funding milestone closely follows the launch of KnowThat.ai, an Agent Reputation Directory that serves as the cornerstone of Vouched’s “Know Your Agent” (KYA) suite. The KYA platform has quickly gained traction across industries where trust is paramount, including e-commerce, digital marketplaces, and regulated sectors such as finance and healthcare.
What makes KYA unique is its comprehensive approach to identity and behavior management. It doesn’t just verify who or what an agent is; it continuously monitors how that agent behaves over time, providing organizations with a dynamic, real-time understanding of risk, compliance, and reliability.
KYA is designed to support both human and AI agents, recognizing that the future of digital interaction will be shaped by a blend of both. The platform enables organizations to onboard agents with verified, persistent identities and then track their activities through a suite of modules focused on credentials, behavioral risk, and ongoing compliance. This lifecycle approach ensures that trust isn’t just established at the point of entry—it’s maintained throughout the agent’s engagement with the system.
One of the most forward-looking aspects of KYA is its support for open frameworks like the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which promotes interoperability and shared standards across agent ecosystems. This is especially important as enterprises begin to integrate multiple AI agents into their workflows, each with different roles, capabilities, and levels of autonomy. Vouched’s tools—including developer-friendly APIs and a turnkey MCP-Identity server—make it easier for organizations to implement identity management across both new and legacy systems, reducing friction and accelerating adoption.
Since the launch of KnowThat.ai and the broader KYA suite, Vouched has focused on helping organizations meet the rising demand for secure, scalable identity verification in environments where autonomous agents are becoming the norm. The company’s platform is built to align with emerging regulatory frameworks and industry standards, positioning it as a trusted partner for enterprises navigating the complexities of digital transformation.
How the funding will be used: With the new funding in place, Vouched plans to deepen its investment in product development, expand its network of industry collaborators, and continue innovating on behalf of its customers. The company is committed to building tools that not only meet today’s needs but anticipate tomorrow’s challenges—especially as AI agents take on more responsibility in customer service, decision-making, and operational execution.
“We are doubling down on KYA’s vision of trustworthy autonomous agents and scaling our platform to match the pace of a rapidly evolving digital world with this Series A. We are grateful for our investors’ confidence and are excited to realize the next phase of growth for Vouched, our partners, and the communities we serve.”
