Dataminr, the AI-driven real-time information discovery platform, has raised $85 million in fresh funding to fuel its next phase of growth. The latest round, a blend of convertible financing and credit, came from cybersecurity investment firm NightDragon and banking giant HSBC. With this new infusion, Dataminr’s total funding has now crossed the $1 billion mark.
This funding will enable Dataminr to double down on its generative AI and agentic AI capabilities, further enhancing the platform’s ability to deliver real-time insights. Founded in 2009, Dataminr has grown into a leading intelligence platform that helps organizations spot emerging risks, events, and threats as they unfold.
At its core, Dataminr uses powerful artificial intelligence to sift through massive amounts of data—spanning text, images, video, audio, and machine sensor data. By analyzing billions of data points from over a million public sources, the platform delivers real-time alerts across 220 countries in more than 150 languages. This global reach allows clients to stay ahead of fast-moving situations no matter where they arise.
According to the company, its AI-driven platform is built on more than 50 large language models (LLMs) and multi-modal foundation models. These models are continuously trained on Dataminr’s vast archive of event data, enabling early detection of risks and helping clients make swift, informed decisions during crises.
Beyond threat detection, Dataminr offers a wide range of capabilities designed to enhance operational resilience. Its platform provides vulnerability intelligence, monitors third-party risks, and speeds up decision-making processes—helping organizations protect assets, people, and operations around the clock.
With global threats growing more complex and unpredictable, Dataminr’s leadership sees a rising demand for real-time, AI-powered intelligence. Dave DeWalt, founder and CEO of NightDragon, highlighted this urgency, stating, “When seconds matter and truth is hard to find, Dataminr is equipping the world’s top organizations and governments to make smarter, faster decisions in real-time.”
Part of the new funding will also support Dataminr’s expansion into the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) markets. Additionally, the company plans to extend the reach of its platform API, integrating its intelligence tools into new products across various industries.
By pushing the boundaries of AI-driven intelligence, Dataminr aims to stay at the forefront of the real-time information space, helping businesses and governments manage risk in an increasingly uncertain world.
