Qoruz, a creator intelligence and collaboration platform, has secured $500K of funding from The Chennai Angels as part of its ongoing pre-Series A round, which is targeted at $1 million. The round also saw participation from senior marketing professionals, agency leaders, and founders from the media and advertising ecosystem.
The Bengaluru-based startup had previously raised 4.5 crore in a seed funding round from Dexter Angels and the IIM Indore Alumni Fund.
The proceeds will be utilized to scale its AI capabilities, expand into new market verticals, and strengthen its global presence with a focus on the Middle East and Southeast Asia, Qoruz said in a press release.
Co-founded in 2014 by Praanesh Bhuvaneswar, Prabakaran B, Aditya Gurwara, and Priya Vivek, Qoruz is a creator intelligence and collaboration platform that helps brands discover, evaluate, and collaborate with creators to drive measurable business outcomes. The platform enables marketers to approach creator collaboration as a structured, data-led channel rather than an intuition-driven tactic.
“We’re not just building a platform, we’re building an ecosystem for the creator economy, where creators are central to how products are discovered, trusted, and bought. For this to scale meaningfully, it needs more than connections; it needs infrastructure. This capital allows us to deepen that foundation and bring operational precision to a space that has long operated on instinct,” said Praanesh Bhuvaneswar, co-founder and CEO of Qoruz.
Qoruz plans to target $30 million ARR by 2026, growing 3x YoY in enterprise client adoption. The company claims that its platform has been used by over 1,000 brands and agencies, including Amazon, Flipkart, Jiostar, Dabur, L’Oréal, and Coca-Cola.
