Vilnius-based WhiteBridge AI has raised new funding to improve how information about people is discovered, verified, and used.
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.
