Customers like the financial media outlet CNBC initially processed just two hours of content per day, but are now working with multiple channels that run 24/7 and use broader applications across the organization, according to Roth.

"We believe there are multiple other radio and TV broadcasters in various stages of a similar sales cycle," Alger said. 

Veritone is the "real deal" and is executing on a strategy it initially presented to the Street in early 2016, in the analyst's view. 

The company is targeting $20 to $60 million in SaaS revenue for M&A before the end of 2017, which implies there's "transformational growth in the business coming."
