Real-time information discovery platform Dataminr on Wednesday announced raising $85 million in a new funding round that brings the total raised by the company to over $1 billion.
The new investment, a combination of convertible financing and credit, came from NightDragon and HSBC and will allow the firm to advance its generative AI and agentic AI capabilities.
Founded in 2009, Dataminr has built a platform that monitors for events, risks, and threats to provide real-time information to customers.
Powered by AI, the solution crawls through text, images, video, sound and machine-generated sensor data, to analyze data from billions of inputs across over one million public data sources, and provide real-time detection across more than 220 countries, in over 150 languages, the company says.
According to Dataminr, its platform can detect early events and threats, helping organizations to quickly respond and effectively manage crises. The solution is powered by over 50 LLMs and multi-modal foundation models trained on the company’s event and data archive.
Dataminr’s products can protect users and facilities, ensure operational resilience, offering capabilities such as vulnerability intelligence, third-party risk information, and increasing decision-making speed, the company says.
In addition to investing in gen-AI and agentic AI, Dataminr will use the new funding to expand its go-to-market efforts in the EMEA region, and to integrate its platform API into new products in more verticals.
“As global risks become increasingly complex, unpredictable, and catastrophic, the demand for real-time, AI-driven intelligence has never been more urgent. When seconds matter and truth is obscure, Dataminr is helping the world’s leading organizations and governments make smarter, more informed decisions in real-time by pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI,” NightDragon founder and CEO Dave DeWalt said.
