Company Background
Founded in 2024 by Tomas Martūnas, Irmantas Motiejūnas, Justinas Barauskas, and Paulius Taraškevičius, WhiteBridge AI began as a digital‑footprint auditing and reputation‑monitoring tool. The platform aggregates publicly available information from dozens of online sources, verifies it, and organizes it into a searchable database. Over time, the company repositioned itself as a broader people‑search and research engine, targeting both business users and private individuals.
Product and Use Cases
The platform offers businesses a reliable way to verify information about partners, vendors, and contacts before meetings, sales engagements, or partnership discussions. It also supports vendor due‑diligence, third‑party screening, and helps individuals discover what personal data is circulating online. According to co‑founder Tomas Martūnas, the service brings “clarity and control to that chaos,” enabling users to act with confidence.
Planned Use of Funds
WhiteBridge AI said the seed capital will be allocated to three primary areas: expanding integrations with additional data sources, improving verification and transparency infrastructure, and further developing the core search and research platform. These enhancements aim to strengthen the company’s value proposition for both enterprise customers and individual users.
Investor Perspectives
FIRSTPICK’s managing partner Dmitrij Sosunov emphasized that the decision to invest was driven more by the founding team’s execution ability than by market size alone. He noted that the team’s speed, practicality, and delivery track record give them an advantage in a fast‑moving artificial‑intelligence landscape.
Outlook
With the new funding, WhiteBridge AI is positioned to scale its technology, broaden its market reach, and deepen its data‑verification capabilities. The company’s focus on providing transparent, verified online identity signals aligns with growing demand for reliable digital reputation tools across multiple industries.
