Some companies leave no doubt.
Why we invested
Some companies don't ask you to imagine the future. They give you evidence that it's already happening. By the time we invested, Dataminr had already demonstrated what its platform could do, surfacing major world events faster than the institutions built to track them. That kind of track record is rare, and it mattered more to us than any projection could. The company sat at the intersection of several areas we care deeply about, including applied AI, national security, and risk intelligence, led by a founder with a well-established reputation for building in the space. We didn't have to imagine what the company could become. It had already shown us.
Partnership
Like many of our strongest partnerships, our work with Dataminr has centered on showing up where we can be most useful. We've helped identify technical and commercial talent, made introductions to support enterprise growth, and brought members of our own investor network alongside the company during an important stage of its journey. Every partnership looks a little different, but our approach stays the same. We look for the moments where our involvement can genuinely help move the business forward.
