imper.ai

Who let the wolves out??? 🐺 Today I’m excited to share that Imper.ai is officially out of stealth! We’re on a mission to stop the most widespread and effective attack vector since the beginning of digital history - Social Engineering. A huge challenge? Absolutely. But I’m fortunate to be building this with my incredible co-founders Rom Dudkiewicz and Anatoly Blighovsky, backed by a dream team of investors - Battery Ventures, Redpoint Maple Capital, Vesey Ventures Cerca Partners - and the most dedicated and talented team I could ask for. Buckle up. We’re just getting started, and there’s a lot of sheep’s clothing to uncover. 🐑 And as the most famous family associated with wolves once said: 𝓘𝓶𝓹𝓮𝓻 𝓲𝓼 𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓰. 🐺

Trust is the new attack vector. imper.ai starts here. It’s easier to manipulate a person than deploy malware. Every CISO we spoke with said the same thing. Their biggest blind spot isn’t infrastructure; it’s real-time conversations. imper.ai closes that gap. We verify trust at first contact using signals attackers can’t fake. Device. Network. Behavioral telemetry that exposes impersonation before it turns into compromise. Today we’re launching imper.ai and announcing our $28 million round led by Redpoint Ventures and Battery Ventures, with Maple VC, Vesey Ventures, and Cerca Partners alongside them. They see what security teams already know. The perimeter has moved to people, not systems. The full founder story is in the comments. Let the fun begin. imper.ai is officially out in the world.
