LetsData Secures $1.6M to Combat Information Operations and Synthetic Identities

We’re thrilled to announce that we successfully raised a $1.6M funding round. This milestone is a testament to our mission to provide corporations and governments with the solutions they need to counter the growing threats of information operations. Our investors include SMOK Ventures, Wayra (part of Telefónica), Tilia Impact Ventures (supported by the InvestEU Fund), 1991 Ventures, Google’s Ukraine Support Fund, and Startup Wise Guys. We’re also honored to have the support of angel investors like Pavla Bobosikova (CEO and co-founder at WFHomie, acquired by GoCo) and Marty Krátký-Katz (CEO and co-founder at Blockthrough, acquired by eyeo).

With this funding, we are poised to further expand our presence in the United States and Europe and enhance our technology to meet the surging demand for advanced InfoOps detection solutions.

LetsData began as a bootstrapped venture during the onset of Russia's invasion of Ukraine when the urgency for InfoOps detection became undeniable. Most organizations rely on under-resourced teams that cannot adequately manage these threats. LetsData bridges this gap with a security-first approach, delivering actionable intelligence from day one of onboarding without complex training. Our mission is to become the industry standard for InfoOps detection, empowering organizations to respond swiftly and effectively.

Traditional tools for detecting information operations often fall short of addressing today’s sophisticated threats. At LetsData, our cutting-edge AI technology consistently outperforms these methods.

Our solution processes open-source data from over 100 million websites and social media platforms in more than 50 languages and regions. With advanced semantic AI models, we analyze text and video metadata from platforms like Telegram, YouTube, and TikTok, uncovering the intent behind coordinated malicious campaigns. Our solution detects 80% more threats at their inception than traditional tools, empowering organizations to act decisively before reputational or operational harm occurs.

Technology should not just identify problems but actively solve them. At LetsData, we’re harnessing the power of AI to address an urgent global challenge — detecting and mitigating information threats in real-time. This funding will enable us to scale our impact and ensure that organizations around the world are better equipped to face the ever-evolving landscape of InfoOps.

Gonzalo Pérez, Head of Investments at Wayra Germany, also commented: “The sophistication of modern threat actors demands equally advanced countermeasures. LetsData’s proprietary technology not only keeps pace but outperforms existing tools, making them a game-changer in combating information operations and synthetic identities. We are thrilled to support their journey to scale and innovate.”

At LetsData, our unwavering mission is to integrate actionable threat intelligence into organizations’ workflows, enabling them to proactively mitigate risks and safeguard their operations.
