Tadaweb raises funds to scale PAI/OSINT small data OS
Tadaweb has secured $20 million in funding to scale its Small Data Operating System for publicly available information (PAI) and open-source intelligence (OSINT).
PAI is information found in public sources, whether in print media, online platforms, social media, public records, websites, blogs, forums, imagery, or videos. OSINT refers to the process of collecting, analysing, and disseminating publicly available data points to support decision-making. OSINT is estimated to account for between 80 and 90% of information-gathering activities carried out by law enforcement agencies and other government entities [1].
The software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform is used by defence, national security, public safety, cyber threat intelligence, and corporate security organisations across Europe and the U.S. to boost the efficiency of analysts and investigators by reducing the time to insight from days to minutes.
Being able to analyse PAI rapidly enables public and private sector organisations to access accurate and actionable information in markets frequently disrupted by political turmoil and economic instability. However, information overload can overwhelm even the most well-resourced organisations, making it increasingly difficult for analysts and end-users to quickly bring the most valuable insights to the forefront and make critical decisions.
Small Data refers to the amount of information that a human can process, combining precise data points to obtain the correct answer. Tadaweb augments the Small Data skills of human analysts with an operating system enhanced by AI, bringing together a suite of products that integrate seamlessly with third-party web tools and APIs. This system ingests data from PAI, commercially available information, and emerging sources.
Automation and Big Data alone are not enough, so Tadaweb flips the model by reducing the time to progress from investigation to insight from days to minutes — a problem widely understood in the market.
As a result, Tadaweb users are better equipped to meet mission-critical priorities, from reducing fraud and identifying potential threats to minimising supply chain disruptions and mitigating financial losses. Customers include government agencies in defence, national security and public safety across Europe and the US, as well as private sector cyber threat intelligence and corporate security organisations.
Francois Gaspard, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Tadaweb, said: “Our mission is to make the world safer by empowering the human mind with the right information at the right time. Almost everyone is looking to AI for a solution. Our focus is on transparency, not delivering another black box. We embrace AI, while ensuring our solution keeps the human in control. True impact comes from putting humans in the centre. By augmenting analysts with our Small Data Operating System, we’re doing just that.”
Arsenal Growth and Forgepoint Capital International led the investment, with participation from existing investor Wendel. Both Jason Rottenberg, General Partner at Arsenal Growth, and Damien Henault, Managing Director at Forgepoint Capital International, will join the Tadaweb board.
This funding brings the total investment in Tadaweb to $40 million, following Wendel’s initial backing of $18 million in 2023 and $2 million from angel investors in 2015.
