Blackbird.AI, a New York-based AI-driven Narrative and Risk Intelligence company, raised $20M in Series B funding.
The round, which brought the total amount to $30M, was led by Ten Eleven Ventures, with participation from existing investors Dorilton Capital, Generation Ventures, StartFast Ventures and Trousdale Ventures, as well as Paul Kurtz, and Richard Clarke.
Led by CEO Wasim Khaled, Blackbird.AI provides an AI-driven narrative & risk intelligence constellation platform for organizations to detect and respond to threats that cause reputational and financial harm in real-time. The system detects narratives, the risks they contain and the way in which these narratives propagate in more than 25 languages to analyze text, images and memes across the dark web, social, news and more, enabling organizations to react faster to a range of attacks with rapid access to AI-powered insights.
The company intends to use the funds to scale the sales and marketing efforts to bring its solutions to more customers, drive awareness in key industries and accelerate innovation in enhancing the platform and its recently launched RAV3N Co-Pilot, a state of the art Generative AI reporting module to accelerate insights and recommendations. It will also continue to expand its ecosystem through the Blackbird Global Alliance Program.
