AI-powered narrative intelligence firm Blackbird.AI has announced raising $28 million in a strategic funding round that brings the total raised by the company to $58 million.
Founded in 2017, New York-based Blackbird.AI has built a platform that helps organizations identify and tackle narrative, disinformation, and manipulation attacks targeting their reputation.
The company’s AI-based Constellation platform analyzes narratives and their associated bot networks and influencers, offering context and clarity into harmful campaigns so that organizations can prioritize risk management.
Blackbird.AI says its solution has been adopted by organizations to battle increasingly numerous AI-generated deepfake, disinformation, propaganda, and misinformation attacks.
Such manipulation campaigns, the company explains, may lead to reputational damage, which in turn could result in financial losses.
The company’s platform is used by Fortune 500 companies, Global 2000 businesses, government organizations, and technology firms.
Blackbird.AI will use the fresh investment to enhance its narrative intelligence technology platform and accelerate go-to-market efforts.
Ten Eleven Ventures, Dorilton Ventures, and multiple angel investors participated in Blackbird.AI’s new funding round.
“Blackbird.AI stands at the forefront of narrative intelligence, offering a dominant approach to protecting organizations from this new threat of narrative-based disinformation attacks,” said NightDragon CEO Dave DeWalt, who is also an investor in the company.
