Vaudit, previously known as BlokID, has raised $7.3 million to launch an AI-powered auditing platform for digital ad spend. Mucker Capital led the seed round, joined by AVV, AppWorks, Plug and Play, and Kyber Knight. Notable investors include Omar Hamoui, founder of AdMob, and Binh Tran, co-founder of Klout.

With this funding, Vaudit has secured a total of $8.5 million, including a previous $1.25 million pre-seed round. The AI-powered auditing platform for digital ad spend enables real-time campaign monitoring. It flags discrepancies and provides legally backed audit documentation for billing recovery.

The platform meets growing demand for ad budget accountability. Advertisers can now detect waste, challenge overcharges, and request refunds from platforms. VPN Ranks estimated U.S. advertisers lost $28.6 billion to fraud last year proving the need for reliable AI-powered auditing platforms for digital ad spend.

From Fraud Detection to Full Audit Intelligence

Vaudit already serves 1,000+ global users and has audited over 558 million ad events. It currently audits over $150 million in annualized ad spend. Some clients report monthly overcharges as high as 30%, highlighting the critical need for auditing solutions.

Enterprise clients such as HP, Huawei, SAP, Panasonic, RE/MAX, and Accenture now use Vaudit to verify spend accuracy. These audits provide confidence in ongoing digital campaigns.

“Working with veterans like Omar and Binh allows us to promote fairness in adtech,” said CEO Michael Hahn. “Click errors and overspending are rampant we’re fixing that.”

Originally launched as BlokID, the platform saw a lack of transparency in digital media budgets. The rebrand to Vaudit short for “Virtual Audit” represents its broader goal of audit intelligence across all ad spend.

“Vaudit fixes an overlooked flaw in the system,” said Mucker Capital’s Omar Hamoui. “Advertisers don’t have visibility. Vaudit changes that with clear, actionable insights.”

The platform operates as an audit layer across digital investments. It matches reported spend against real invoices from ad platforms like Google and Meta. With audit-grade reports, clients recover misspent funds and improve budget controls.

Vaudit Appoints New Chief Operating Officer

To accelerate growth, Vaudit named Piotr Korzeniowski as its new COO. He previously scaled Clearcode and Piwik PRO to exits, bringing strong martech experience.

“Ad fraud tools are everywhere, but spend verification isn’t,” said Korzeniowski. “Vaudit closes that gap. I’m excited to drive expansion.”

The team plans to build agentic workflows that reduce ad waste and detect anomalies faster. They’ll also expand AI models to improve spend pattern detection and fraud resolution.

“Advertisers deserve full visibility,” said AVV’s Binh Tran. “Vaudit offers more than audit tools it provides financial control and trust.”

Currently focused on Google and Meta, the platform will soon support audits for Amazon, TikTok, X (Twitter), and mobile in-app campaigns. This expansion aligns with the rising complexity of global digital ad spending.
