Apate

Overview

Apate provides a fraud prevention and intelligence platform that uses artificial intelligence to disrupt scam operations. Founded in 2024, the company deploys conversational AI bots to interact with scammers in real-time, diverting them away from potential victims while simultaneously capturing data on attacker tactics, such as bank account details and crypto wallet addresses [0, 1]. This intercepted information is provided to clients as actionable intelligence through a dashboard, helping them protect users and understand evolving threat vectors [0]. The Apate ecosystem integrates with telecommunications providers, financial institutions, and government agencies to support scam prevention across voice, text, and other digital channels [0]. The company has raised $8.15 million in seed funding to support its operations [registry]. Apate's solution is designed to be cloud-agnostic and can be deployed in private or hybrid environments, focusing on proactive disruption rather than reactive blocking [0].
