Clouted Hits 1B+ Views in 6 Months, Raises $7M to Define Distribution Marketing at Scale
Summary
Clouted closed a $7M seed round led by Slow Ventures after generating over 1 billion views across 250+ campaigns in six months. The company publicly launched its Virality Engine, a Distribution Intelligence platform that uses AI agents to ingest brand assets, execute distribution across clipping, UGC, influencer seeding and ads, and continuously optimize via a live intelligence loop. Clouted says it has paid out more than $1M to creators, grown a network of 100,000+ clippers and creators, and demonstrated results with a 30M+ view campaign for Illenium. The startup will use the funding to expand its infrastructure, grow the creator network, and accelerate vertical expansion into gaming and streaming amid a large creator-economy market opportunity.
