Dataminr has successfully secured $85m in a new funding round. The investment was led by NightDragon and HSBC, leveraging a combination of convertible financing and credit facilities.
The funding will accelerate Dataminr’s growth trajectory as it continues to develop innovative Generative AI and Agentic AI technologies. These advancements are critical for shaping the future of real-time information processing, enabling organizations to respond more effectively to global risks and opportunities.
Dataminr has carved a niche in the market with its unique real-time AI platform. The platform is capable of discovering and evaluating events, risks, and threats by integrating various data forms including images, videos, sounds, machine-generated sensor data, and textual content across 150 languages. This robust integration allows the platform to perform trillions of computations daily, processing billions of multi-modal public data signals from millions of sources, thereby delivering the most accurate and comprehensive real-time information available.
The new capital injection will be used to further expand Dataminr’s international presence, particularly in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Additionally, the funding will support the development of new products in various verticals through its Platform API.
This round of funding is a testament to Dataminr’s sustained growth and innovation. Notably, the company is gearing up for the 2025 launch of its Context Agents feature, an Agentic AI capability that will add real-time contextual insights to breaking events, enhancing the decision-making process for businesses and governments alike.
NightDragon founder and CEO, Dave DeWalt, now Vice Chairman of Dataminr’s board, remarked, “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.”
Prasant Chunduru, HSBC Head of Technology Credit Solutions, also supported this sentiment, stating, “With this latest financing, HSBC is proud to support Dataminr in their growth as they expand internationally and develop new applications across additional verticals. Dataminr stands out in the current AI landscape through its unique ability to process billions of data signals in real-time, delivering organizations the critical intelligence needed to preempt emerging threats. Their innovative approach to multi-modal AI and real-time decision support enables industry-leading response-times.”
