Clouted raises $7M to build Distribution Intelligence for brands
Clouted, a 'Virality Engine' for consumer and entertainment brands, announced the close of a $7M seed funding round led by Slow Ventures. The company concurrently launched its 'Distribution Intelligence' platform, which uses AI agents to generate and execute data-driven campaign plans and optimize distribution across various channels. The capital will be used to expand its Distribution Intelligence infrastructure, grow its creator network, and accelerate vertical expansion into gaming and streaming.
Key Takeaways
- Slow Ventures led Clouted’s $7M seed round, with backing from Gold House Ventures, Weekend Fund, LINE-Yahoo’s Z VC, Gondor Capital, Iterative, AppWorks, Peak XV’s Surge, and a16z Speedrun.
- Clouted says its AI agents can ingest brand strategy, content libraries, and digital presence to generate campaign plans and execute them autonomously.
- The platform optimizes distribution across clipping, UGC, fan pages, influencer seeding, performance ads, and viral stunts.
- Clouted reports 1B+ views since October 2025, 250+ campaigns, and a creator network of 100,000+ creators and clippers.
- The company says the new capital will expand Distribution Intelligence infrastructure and accelerate entry into gaming and streaming.
Why It Matters
Clouted is packaging distribution as software infrastructure, not just campaign execution. For streaming and entertainment brands, the immediate implication is a system that turns content distribution into a repeatable process across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X. The competitive angle is clear: Clouted is trying to define “Distribution Intelligence” as a category distinct from creator marketplaces and UGC tools, with backing from Slow Ventures, a16z Speedrun, Peak XV’s Surge, and others. Watch whether the company’s claimed 1B+ views since October 2025 and 250+ campaigns translate into more gaming and streaming customers.
