Attestiv

AI-powered digital media validation and fraud detection for insurance

Claims Technology Startup Seed

Overview

Attestiv is an AI-powered digital media validation platform that helps insurance companies detect fraudulent photos, videos, and documents. Founded in 2018 by Nicos Vekiarides and John Bates, the company addresses the growing threat of deepfakes and manipulated media in insurance claims, underwriting, and inspections. Attestiv's patented technology combines artificial intelligence forensic analysis with blockchain-based tamper-proofing to validate the authenticity of digital content.

The platform serves as a first line of defense for insurers processing claims, scoring digital media on a 0-to-100 scale and automatically flagging suspicious content for Special Investigation Unit (SIU) teams. Attestiv integrates directly into existing claims workflows through APIs, allowing carriers to enhance fraud detection without changing their established processes.

Attestiv has established partnerships with major insurance technology platforms including Insurity, Duck Creek Technologies, Cognizant, and PCMS, extending its reach to hundreds of insurance carriers. The company was recognized as a founding member of Guidewire's Insurtech Vanguards program and a Plug and Play Top 10 Insurtech company.
