Vouched, an AI-powered identity and agent verification provider, has raised $17m in a Series A round led by Spring Rock Ventures.
The funding follows the successful launch of its Know Your Agent (KYA) suite, including the KnowThat.ai agent reputation directory, which has seen strong uptake across e-commerce, digital marketplaces and regulated sectors. KYA combines onboarding, monitoring and compliance tools, using AI to verify both humans and autonomous agents.
The company said the new capital will accelerate product development, expand industry partnerships and strengthen innovation as organisations adapt to the rise of agent-driven digital interactions. Its tools also support open standards such as the Model Context Protocol, promoting interoperability across enterprise environments.
Vouched CEO Peter Horadan said, “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.”
Andrew Stone, SVP of fraud and financial crimes at BHG Financial, added, “We’re in a new world, from a fraud and identity perspective. Everything is changing quickly, and we all need strong partners in this space.
“Working with Vouched has been a game‑changer for us. Their team is responsive, collaborative, and truly invested in our success. They don’t just deliver technology—they deliver confidence. With Vouched, we know our identity verification process is adaptive, powerful and future-proofed, which lets us focus on growing our business.”
