TrueCamera, Inc., a provider of image authenticity verification services utilizing blockchain technology, has announced the completion of a third-party allotment of shares with seed venture capital firm THE SEED acting as the underwriter. The newly raised funds will be allocated toward security and user experience (UX) improvements, as well as broader social adoption initiatives.
Headquartered in Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, TrueCamera, Inc. was founded in January 2026. Amid growing societal concerns over fake images leading to false reports and expense fraud driven by the rapid advancement of AI technology, the company provides a mechanism to guarantee the authenticity of captured photos. Utilizing both a proprietary private chain and a database, the startup holds patent-pending technology that encrypts and stores location and time data at the moment of capture, while actively promoting proof-of-concept (PoC) experiments with government agencies and educational institutions.
With this capital injection, the company will accelerate its system enhancements. TrueCamera envisions deployment in fields where reliability is paramount, such as disaster relief requests, casualty and property insurance claims, and expense settlements. The company plans to release a free camera app for the general public in 2027, aiming for social implementation as a trusted image-sharing platform.
