Clouted Secures $7 Million Seed Round Led By Slow Ventures With Multiple Investors

Clouted, an AI-powered “Virality Engine” for consumer and entertainment brands, has raised a $7 million seed round led by Slow Ventures, with participation from Gold House Ventures, Weekend Fund, LINE-Yahoo’s Z VC, Gondor Capital, Iterative, AppWorks, Peak XV’s Surge, and a16z Speedrun. Alongside the financing, the company launched its Distribution Intelligence platform, which uses AI agents to autonomously plan, execute, and optimize marketing campaigns across channels including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X. CEO and co-founder Justin Gorriceta-Banusing said the platform was built to solve the distribution challenges he experienced firsthand as a DJ and festival producer, while COO and co-founder Adriel Yong described the company’s core advantage as a system that compounds intelligence with every campaign. Based in Los Angeles, Clouted says it has generated more than 1 billion views since October 2025 and executed over 250 campaigns across entertainment, gaming, music, and consumer brands.
