Pangram Labs raises $9M to launch more accurate AI detection for text and images
Pangram Labs Inc., an artificial intelligence research lab that develops AI detection software, today announced it raised $9 million, led by Menlo Ventures, to improve the accuracy of its core text detection and expand into other media, starting with images.
Haystack, ScOp Venture Capital, Script Capital and Cadenza also participated in the investment round. The funding brings the total raised by the company to almost $13 million after raising $2.7 million in June 2025.
Pangram is best known for its AI detection platform that the company claims is capable of industry-leading 1 in 10,000 false positives.
“Fully AI-generated content is everywhere now, and much of it is undisclosed,” said cofounder and chief executive Max Spero. “Pangram exists to make authorship legible for publishers, teachers, journalists and anyone who relies on the truthful and authentic communication of information.”
