Pindrop, founded in 2011, builds voice and video security technology for enterprises. Its platform analyzes hundreds of signals from each voice and video interaction to authenticate users, detect synthetic media, and block fraudulent activity. The company's core use cases span contact centers, virtual meetings, and other digital interactions where AI-generated threats - including voice cloning and deepfakes - are a growing concern.
The company's customer base includes Fortune 500 enterprises across banking, insurance, healthcare, and retail. Eight of the ten largest US banks use Pindrop's technology. The company is backed by Andreessen Horowitz and CapitalG.
Pindrop's technical work sits at the intersection of several demanding disciplines:
- Voice biometrics and authentication
- Deepfake and synthetic media detection
- Voice and video signal analysis
- Machine learning applied to fraud prevention
The team draws heavily from security and research backgrounds. The company's work has evolved from its origins in phone fraud detection to addressing a broader set of AI-driven threats, as voice cloning and synthetic video become more capable and more widely used as attack vectors.
