EarnOS Raises $18.5M in Funding

EarnOS, based in New York, is a digital advertising technology company that provides a platform for brands to reward users for verified online actions. The company announced $18.5 million in strategic funding, consisting of a $6 million Pre-Series A round and a $12.5 million non-dilutive strategic investment.

The Pre-Series A round was led by 1kx, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Circle Ventures, and Social Graph Ventures. The additional non-dilutive strategic investment was provided by Verona.

The capital will be used to support the global scale of the company's reward-based advertising model and to facilitate its official launch across the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

Founded by Phil George, EarnOS develops the mobile app ero, which enables brands to verify human activity and combat bot-driven ad waste. By utilizing privacy-preserving zkTLS technology, the company allows brands to pay users for verified outcomes rather than potentially fraudulent engagement signals.
