About Cyabra

Founded in 2018 by Dan Brahmy, Yossef Daar and Ido Shraga, Cyabra breaks through the layers of online conversations in real-time to connect dots, gauge authenticity and measure the snowball impact. The platform’s powerful lens offers customers the ability to understand genuine narratives, discover trends and reach true audiences. Cyabra is led by a team of information warfare experts that have leaned on their expertise to provide consumer brands, advertising agencies, financial and public organizations with the needed tools to uncover information about inauthentic narratives and authors, even expanding to the likes of deep fakes, to examine the influence of nefarious conversations and fake news online. Cyabra reported a 400% growth in revenue last year. Cyabra’s clients and partners include the U.S. State Department, global advertising agencyTBWA and several large financial institutions. Cyabra’s platform detects false information and its authors and further analyzes it to connect the dots. Beyond identifying nefarious authors, Cyabra’s AI lens allows its customers to understand where communities are forming online to push group messaging and zero in on the authors of influence perpetrating the most proliferation. The company has also drastically enhanced its autonomous client notification system, allowing users to customize preferences around changes of authenticity and proliferation shifts in real-time.

What the Founder has to say:

“We founded Cyabra to bring authenticity to the digital realm, offering solutions to help make sense of the abundance of noise in online conversations today and uncover truths within these narratives,” said Dan Brahmy, Cyabra CEO and Co-Founder. “Disinformation is no longer solely a political issue; we’re seeing consumer brands identify a serious need to examine their online reputation and sentiment under a close lens. We’re excited to expand our footprint and leadership team to offer these companies the resources and information they need to make data-driven decisions and combat disinformation.”

What the Investor has to say:

“Nothing is more important in these times than information verification,” said OurCrowd CEO Jon Medved. “Cyabra is helping major corporations and organizations make sure that what we all read is verified first. This is both a great social need and a great investment.”
