Blackbird.AI Secures $28 Million Funding, Reports 118% ARR Growth Amid Rising Demand for Narrative Defense Tools
Blackbird.AI raised $28 million in funding, boosting total investment to $58 million. The company's annual recurring revenue grew 118% year-over-year, driven by demand from enterprises and national security organizations for tools to combat narrative-based disinformation and deepfakes.
Key investors include Ten Eleven Ventures, Dorilton Ventures, and cybersecurity executives Dave DeWalt and Chris Young. Blackbird.AI's AI-driven platform aims to defend against narrative attacks that can cause significant harm.
The funding will enhance go-to-market strategies, customer support, and the Constellation Narrative Intelligence Platform. The company has formed partnerships with World Wide Technology, BlackCloak, and Security Risk Advisors, and introduced tools like Compass Context and Compass Vision to help users evaluate online claims and detect AI-generated content.
