Description: VERI Veritone January 17, 2026
Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI) develops and operates aiWARE, an AI-operating system that applies machine-learning models to convert unstructured data into structured insights for enterprise and government clients. The platform underpins cloud-native digital content-management tools and managed services across verticals such as media & entertainment, legal/compliance, energy, and public-sector agencies. The company is headquartered in Denver and conducts business in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Australia, Israel, and India.
In its most recent fiscal year (FY 2023), Veritone reported revenue of roughly $225 million, reflecting a year-over-year increase of about 15 percent, while aiWARE subscription usage grew at an estimated 30 percent YoY-a sign that customers are expanding AI-driven data-processing workloads. The broader AI application software market is projected by IDC to expand at a compound annual growth rate of ~38 % through 2030, providing a tailwind for firms that can monetize unstructured-data analytics. However, Veritone’s cash balance of $45 million (as of Q4 2023) and a diluted-share earnings-per-share (EPS) of –$0.12 suggest limited runway without continued top-line growth or external financing, and competition from larger platform players (e.g., Palantir, Snowflake) remains a material risk.
