Dataminr is a leading AI-driven analytics company that delivers real-time intelligence on high-impact events and emerging risks. Using advanced machine learning and natural language processing, Dataminr scans massive volumes of publicly available data — from social media and news sources to the dark web and IoT sensors — to detect critical signals before they reach mainstream awareness. Its proprietary AI models transform complex data into actionable alerts, helping businesses, governments, and first responders make fast, informed decisions in an increasingly unpredictable world.
Dataminr has announced the closing of a $100 million convertible financing from funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group.
Dataminr, headquartered in New York, United States, was founded in 2009 by Jeffrey Kinsey, Sam Hendel, and Theodore Bailey. In 2018, the company joined the unicorn club. Dataminr operates across multiple markets, including the public sector, financial services, corporate security, media, humanitarian organizations, and insurance, providing real-time intelligence to help organizations anticipate and respond to emerging risks. "We are excited to welcome Fortress as a new investor, and excited by the experience the firm brings as a lifecycle investor. The era of Gen AI and Agentic AI holds immense new opportunities for Dataminr in turbocharging the application of real-time information capabilities we offer, especially for corporations and governments, and we look forward to using this capital and leveraging Fortress's experience to accelerate our ability to sell across the Global 2000 and beyond," said Ted Bailey, Founder and CEO of Dataminr.
