About Outtake

Outtake is a New York-based cybersecurity company, founded in October 2023 by Alex Arjun Dhillon, that develops an AI-powered automation platform to protect against digital threats. The company's core offering is an agentic AI system that provides advanced search, real-time threat classification, and automated responses to impersonation scams, phishing campaigns, and other identity-based attacks. These self-learning AI agents operate across external digital surfaces like social media platforms, domains, email, and ad libraries to detect and remove malicious content, reducing takedown times from weeks to hours. The platform serves enterprises and notable AI research labs by unifying threat detection and automating disruption.

Founder and CEO Alex Arjun Dhillon previously worked at Palantir Technologies, leading initiatives in AI and Business Development after graduating from the University of California, Berkeley. His background includes roles at Cornerstone Research and The Brookings Institution. Outtake emerged from stealth in April 2025 with a $16.5 million Series A funding round led by CRV, with participation from notable investors such as Nikesh Aurora and Bill Ackman, bringing its total funding to $20 million. This capital is intended to expand operations and further development efforts.
