Massive Funding for Reputation Specialist Signal AI

Reputation and risk intelligence provider Signal AI has secured a funding round of $165m, allowing it to accelerate product innovation, and expand globally across the US and EMEA.

Signal was founded in 2013, and uses a proprietary AI-powered platform equips to helps users detect, monitor and manage emerging risks, from regulation and cyber to supply chain and reputation. The firm serves more than 40% of the Fortune 500, analysing external data across 226 markets and 75 languages to navigate industry trends, manage reputational shifts and mitigate risks. It acquired US corporate reputation platform KELP, three years ago, followed up with online comment tracker Social 360 eighteen months later, and recently launched an agentic solution called AskAIQ, promising senior leaders actionable insights in real time.

The new funding, which adds to earlier rounds including a $25m Series C in 2019, was led by Battery Ventures. Signal AI founder & CEO David Benigson (pictured) says the funds and Battery's expertise 'will accelerate [the firm's] mission to transform how companies anticipate risk and harness opportunity.' He adds: 'Together, we aim to equip leaders with the deepest, most intuitive intelligence to answer the question every executive is asking: 'What's next, and how can I get ahead of it?''

Battery Principal Collier Searle, who joins Signal AI's board, says the firm 'has carved out a differentiated and, we feel, highly defensible market position at the intersection of AI, risk and enterprise software.'
