CHEQ AI Technologies

Guy Tytunovich and Itamar Golan founded CHEQ in 2016, initially targeting click fraud and invalid traffic in digital advertising. The company has since pivoted toward broader cybersecurity, applying its AI engine to protect enterprise customer acquisition channels from bots, malware, and account takeover attacks. CHEQ offers a platform that identifies and blocks invalid traffic, ad fraud, and malicious users across websites, mobile apps, and connected TV. Key sectors served include e-commerce, gaming, fintech, and media. Named clients include large retailers and gaming operators, although the firm's customer list is not fully public. The company operates primarily in North America and Europe, with headquarters in Tel Aviv and offices in New York and London. The firm raised $150 million in Series C funding in September 2021, led by Oak HC/FT, bringing its total disclosed equity funding to over $200 million. The round valued CHEQ at $1 billion, according to the company's announcement at the time. CHEQ employs roughly 200 people across Israel, the US, and the UK. CHEQ's structural differentiator is its real-time AI inference engine built specifically for traffic verification and threat prevention on customer-facing digital properties. Unlike generic web application firewalls, CHEQ's model trains on ad-fraud and bot-attack patterns, giving it a specialized edge in fighting fake traffic that other security tools miss.
