## Profile
Veritone is the publicly traded enterprise AI company that has positioned itself at the intersection of three things the media-and-entertainment industry is now converging on: enterprise AI infrastructure (the aiWare cognitive-engine platform), licensed voice synthesis with built-in consent frameworks, and content-analysis tooling for studios, broadcasters, and rights holders. The company was co-founded in 2014 by brothers Ryan and Chad Steelberg — a pairing that traces back through AdForce (acquired by CMGi), 2CAN Media (also acquired by CMGi), and dMarc Broadcasting (acquired by Google in 2006), placing Veritone's founders in the digital-advertising and audio-data infrastructure lineage that runs back through the 1990s.

The aiWare platform is the technical anchor — Veritone describes it as supporting more than 860 cognitive engines across over 3,000 customers — but the editorial reason Veritone is a tracked entity here is CEO Ryan Steelberg's recurring framing of the new wave of studio-AI licensing deals. His 'shift, or IP expansion, from behind the model to in front of the model' formulation, applied to Disney's three-year licensing arrangement with OpenAI bringing more than 200 Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars characters into Sora, compresses a structural argument: rights holders are moving from training-data position (where they were primarily plaintiffs) to consumer-facing surface position (where they are partners with revenue tied to model performance).

Veritone trades on the Nasdaq under VERI. Standard SEC filings — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K — are maintained on the Veritone Investor Relations site and on EDGAR; the company also files biographical and compensation disclosures for the executive team and board through proxy statements.
