Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows:  
 A general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor. 

Effective as of Buyer’s payment of the full amount of the Purchase Price, the Parties, and each of them, hereby waive and relinquish all of the rights
and benefits which any of them has, or may have, under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (as well as any similar rights and benefits which they may have by virtue of any statute or rule of law in any other state or
territory of the United States). The Parties, and each of them, hereby acknowledge that they may hereafter discover facts in addition to, or different from, those which they now know or believe to be true with respect to the subject matter of the
Released Claims, but that notwithstanding the foregoing, it is their intention hereby, effective upon Buyer’s payment of the full amount of the Purchase Price, to fully, finally, completely and forever settle and release each, every and all
Released Claims, and that in furtherance of such intention, the releases herein given shall be and remain in effect as full and complete general releases, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts.

8002 of the Federal Bankruptcy Rules (“Appeal”), Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend such Appeal.

Confidential Information regarding the Purchased Assets except to the extent that such Person has executed and delivered to Seller a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, or such disclosure is required by law or order
of any Governmental Entity (in which event Seller shall, to the extent practicable, inform Buyer in advance of any such required disclosure, shall cooperate with Buyer in all reasonable ways in obtaining a protective order or other protection in
respect of such required disclosure, and shall limit such disclosure to the extent reasonably possible while still complying with such requirements). Seller shall use all reasonable care to safeguard Confidential Information regarding the Purchased

 Exhibit 10.19 

STOCK ISSUANCE AGREEMENT 

This STOCK ISSUANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made on April 5, 2016 by and between Veritone,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and NCI Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Investor”). 

WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue to Investor, and Investor desires to purchase, shares of the Company’s Common Stock,
par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), in consideration of services previously rendered to the Company by Chad Steelberg and Ryan Steelberg (the “Founders”). 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE 1 

SALE OF SECURITIES 
 1.1
Sale and Purchase of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, Investor hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to issue and sell to Investor, an aggregate of 1,603,059 shares of the Company’s
Common Stock (the “Shares”). The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the fair market value per share of the Company’s Common Stock as of the date hereof is $0.90, and the Founders and NCI agree with
such determination. The consideration for the issuance of the Shares shall consist of services previously rendered to the Company by the Founders, who have directed that the Company issue the Shares directly to Investor pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. 
 1.2 Closing. The closing of the sale and purchase of the Shares (the “Closing”)
shall take place as of the Effective Date of that certain Confidential Settlement and Indemnification Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2016, among the Company, Investor, the Founders and certain other parties (the “Settlement
Agreement”), and shall be effected remotely by the exchange of counterpart signature pages and documents, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, by all of the parties hereto unless another time is mutually
agreed upon by the Company and Investor. 
 Closing Deliverables. On or prior to the Closing, Investor shall deliver to
the Company, a duly executed copy of each of the Settlement Agreement and this Agreement and such other deliveries required to be given by Investor to the Company hereunder and pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. Upon receipt of the required
deliveries hereunder from the Investor, the Company shall deliver to Investor a stock certificate evidencing all of the Shares. 

  
 1 

 ARTICLE 2 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTOR 

Investor represents and warrants to the Company as follows: 

2.1 Organization; Authority. Investor is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware, and has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement, and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement. 

2.2 Binding Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of the Agreement and the Settlement Agreement have been
duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of the Investor and its members. Each of this Agreement and the Settlement Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by Investor and each such agreement is a valid and binding obligation of
Investor, enforceable against Investor in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) judicial principles limiting availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable remedies; and (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally. 

2.3 Purchase for Own Account for Investment. Investor is purchasing the Shares for Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or
agent, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution of the Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Investor has no
present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the Shares, other than the contribution of some or all of such Shares to another limited liability company beneficially owned by Investor. Investor represents to the
Company that Investor was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares. 
 2.4 Understanding of Risks. Investor is
aware of the speculative nature of the investment in the Shares and understands that there is no public market for the Shares at this time, and there can be no assurance that such a market will ever develop for the Shares. As such, the Investor
acknowledges that Investor may be required to hold the Shares for an indefinite period. 
 2.5 Investor’s Qualifications.
Investor has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and/or certain of its officers and/or directors of a nature and duration sufficient to make Investor aware of the character, business acumen and general business and
financial circumstances of the Company and/or such officers and directors. By reason of Investor’s business or financial experience, Investor is capable of and experienced with evaluating the merits and risks of this investment, has the ability
to protect Investor’s own interests in this transaction and is financially capable of bearing the economic risks of this investment. Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act. 

  
 2 

 2.6 No General Solicitation. At no time was Investor presented with or solicited by any
publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Shares. 

2.7 Compliance with Securities Laws. Investor understands and acknowledges that, in reliance upon the representations and warranties
made by Investor herein, the Shares are not being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Act, and such Shares have not been qualified under the California Corporate Securities Law
of 1968, as amended (the “Law”), but instead are being issued under an exemption or exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements of the Securities Act and the Law or other applicable state securities laws
which impose certain restrictions on Investor’s ability to transfer the Shares. 
 2.8 Restrictions on Transfer. Investor
understands that Investor may not transfer any Shares unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act and qualified under the Law or other applicable state securities laws or unless exemptions from such registration and qualification
requirements are available. Investor understands that only the Company may file a registration statement with the SEC or the California Commissioner of Corporations or other applicable state securities commissioners and that the Company is under no
obligation to do so with respect to the Shares. Investor has also been advised that exemptions from registration and qualification may not be available or may not permit Investor to transfer all or any of the Shares in the amounts or at the times
proposed by Investor.
