Pangram, an AI startup founded by former Tesla and Google engineers, has raised a $4M seed round to detect AI-generated content. The company’s active learning model outperforms traditional detectors like Turnitin and is already being used by Quora and NewsGuard.
• Uses a feedback loop to generate hard-to-classify examples for training
• Built on open-source models, offering better performance at lower cost
• Research shows a 38x error reduction vs. standard detection tools
• Clients include Quora and media verification firm NewsGuard
• Subscription pricing for individuals, pros, and developers (starts at $15/month)
• Raised from ScOp, Script Capital, Cadenza, Haystack VC, and others
• Founded by Bradley Emi and Max Spero, Stanford grads with stints at Tesla and Google
• Currently 8 engineers, aiming to grow post-funding
• Plans to expand beyond enterprise into consumer tools for AI integrity
As AI content floods the internet, Pangram wants to be the backbone of trust—quietly verifying what’s real and what’s synthetic.
