Blackbird[.]AI has announced a funding round of $28 million, bringing its total raised to $58 million and backing the company’s AI-based narrative intelligence platform. Founded in 2017 and based in New York, Blackbird[.]AI has built a Constellation platform that analyses narratives and their bot networks and influencers to provide context and clarity on harmful campaigns.

The company says its technology helps organisations identify and tackle narrative-driven disinformation and manipulation attacks that could damage reputations and lead to financial losses. The freshly raised capital will be used to enhance the platform and accelerate go-to-market efforts.

Ten Eleven Ventures, Dorilton Ventures, and multiple angel investors participated in the round, with the company highlighting that its solution is already used by Fortune 500 organisations, Global 2000 businesses, government entities, and tech firms.
