The company serves two-thirds of the Fortune 50, half of the Fortune 100, over 100 U.S. government agencies, 20+ international governments, NATO, OpenAI, 1,500 newsrooms, and secured a five-year $282M U.S. Department of Defense contract. In March 2025, Dataminr secured $85M in convertible financing and credit from NightDragon and HSBC to accelerate growth, expand internationally in Europe, Middle East, and Asia, and develop new verticals via its Platform API, with NightDragon planning a $100M SPV for third-party investors. A separate $100M investment from Fortress Investment Group was announced around the same period to further expand enterprise sales, marketing, and global reach amid rising demand for real-time intelligence in geopolitical, cyber, and physical threats. Dataminr is approaching $200M in ARR with strong growth across enterprise, government, and defense sectors as of March/April 2025, positioning it as a leader in Generative AI (e.g., 2024 ReGenAI launch) and upcoming Agentic AI like Context Agents. The funding supports innovations in predictive tools and scales operations performing trillions of daily computations. Previously, Dataminr raised $475M in a Series F round in 2021 at $4.1B valuation and has totaled over $1.05B in funding since 2009, employing 753 people. |
| Mar 2025 | Undisclosed stage | HSBC (lead); NightDragon (lead) | $85M | - | Dataminr is an AI-powered real-time information platform that analyzes billions of public data signals, including text, images, video, and sensor data in over 150 languages, to deliver early warnings on high-impact events for enterprise, government, and defense sectors. Its solutions include multi-modal Fusion AI, ReGenAI for live event briefs, and upcoming Context Agents for real-time event context. Customers include two-thirds of the Fortune 50, half of the Fortune 100, over 100 U.S. government agencies, 20+ international governments, NATO, OpenAI, and 1,500 newsrooms, with a five-year $282 million U.S. Department of Defense contract. On March 19, 2025, Dataminr secured $85 million in new funding from NightDragon and HSBC via convertible financing and credit, led by both investors. NightDragon's CEO Dave DeWalt joined the board as Vice Chairman and plans a Special Purpose Vehicle for up to $100 million more in convertible financing from third parties. This follows a 2021 Series F equity round of $475 million at $4.1 billion valuation, with total prior VC funding of $1.1 billion; the new tranche is pre-IPO convertible without a set valuation. Funds will accelerate Generative AI and Agentic AI innovation, international expansion in Europe, Middle East, and Asia, and new vertical market products. Dataminr is approaching $200 million in annual recurring revenue amid strong growth across markets, after 2023 layoffs of 20% of staff to focus on AI amid economic headwinds. A new Partner Network supports growth in real-time AI solutions. The financing underscores strategic support for Dataminr's leadership in real-time risk detection amid rising geopolitical volatility, cyber threats, and disasters, enhancing predictive capabilities and global infrastructure. |
| Mar 2021 | Series F | DNS Capital; IVP; Friends & Family Capital; DFO Management; Morgan Stanley Tactical Value; ArrowMark Partners; Eden Global Partners; Lurra Capital; The Pritzker Organization; Valor Equity Partners; Eldridge Industries; Moore Capital | $475M | $4.1B | Dataminr, a New York-based real-time event and risk detection platform, ingests data from over 100,000 public sources including social media, news, and filings to deliver AI-powered alerts to enterprises, newsrooms, and public sector organizations.

The company detects critical events minutes or days ahead of traditional sources, serving use cases in safety, reputation risk, crisis management, business intelligence, and cybersecurity. In March 2021, Dataminr closed a $475 million Series F funding round at a $4.1 billion post-money valuation, bringing total funding raised to over $1 billion. Investors included ArrowMark Partners, DFO Management, DNS Capital, Eden Global Partners, Eldridge Industries, Friends & Family Capital, Valor Equity Partners, IVP, Lurra Capital, Moore Capital, Morgan Stanley Tactical Value, and The Pritzker Organization, with Eden Global as strategic partner. This followed a 2018 round at $1.6 billion valuation and came amid surging demand from increased online activity during the pandemic. Proceeds were earmarked for accelerating corporate enterprise growth, which doubled in revenue over the prior year and reportedly doubled annually for three years prior; expanding international sales in Europe and Asia-Pacific; and enhancing the AI platform with investments in multi-modal event detection, fusion AI, and human-AI feedback loops. CEO Ted Bailey highlighted the platform's relevance for public and private sector clients amid global events. At the time of the round, Dataminr was approaching $200 million in revenue, positioning it for an anticipated IPO in 2023, though later reports noted challenges matching the $4.1 billion valuation with current growth. The enterprise segment showed particularly strong traction, doubling revenue in the last year reported. |
