WhiteBridge AI, a team developing an
AI-powered people search and research engine, has raised a $3M seed round. The
round was led by FIRSTPICK VC, with participation from First Degree, NGL.VC,
Scalewolf.VC, BADideas.fund, Nectolabs, Plug and Play, and several angel
investors.
Founded in 2024 by Tomas Martūnas, Irmantas Motiejūnas, Justinas Barauskas, and Paulius Taraškevičius, WhiteBridge was
built around a simple observation: while large amounts of information about
people already exist online, it is often fragmented, inconsistent, and
difficult to verify. As digital content becomes easier to manipulate,
determining what is accurate and trustworthy is becoming increasingly
challenging.
WhiteBridge addresses this challenge by
turning scattered public signals into clear, decision-ready insights, helping
teams move from “trust me” to “verify it.” The platform aims to strengthen
professional and personal relationships through actionable insights while
enabling individuals to maintain greater visibility and control over their
digital footprint.
The company initially launched as a platform
for digital footprint audits and reputation monitoring, aggregating, verifying,
and organising publicly available data across dozens of sources. This
monitoring capability helps individuals stay informed about what appears online
about them and respond early when changes occur.
Building on this foundation, WhiteBridge is
now expanding its broader mission by developing a people search and research
engine designed to help users quickly validate information about others with
reliable context rather than guesswork.
Commenting on the growing visibility of
personal data online, Tomas Martūnas, co-founder of WhiteBridge AI, noted that
many people are unaware of how much information about them already circulates
online, and even fewer understand how it can influence their personal and
professional opportunities.
WhiteBridge, we’re here to bring clarity and
control to that chaos. Our platform gives people and businesses a reliable way
to understand and manage online identity signals – so they can act with
confidence,
Martūnas said.
The platform supports several practical use
cases. For businesses, it enables teams to prepare for sales and partnership
meetings with deeper, verified context that goes beyond surface-level online
profiles. It also helps organisations validate potential partners and vendors,
reducing risk and strengthening trust in professional relationships. In
addition, the platform supports third-party screening for digitally active
adults, where the ability to quickly access reliable information is often
critical.
With the new investment, the company plans to
advance product development, connect to additional data providers, and
strengthen the reliability and transparency of its insights.
