Recognition in AI and Data category underscores Alethea's groundbreaking technology and leadership in combating disinformation globally
WASHINGTON, DC and NEW YORK – December 3, 2024 – Alethea, the leading technology company in disinformation detection and mitigation, announced that it has been named to Inc.’s 2024 Best in Business List in the AI and Data category. This annual recognition celebrates companies making an outsized impact on their industries and society through groundbreaking innovation and exceptional execution.
Since its founding in 2019, Alethea has become a trailblazer in helping organizations detect and mitigate disinformation threats. In 2024, the company achieved significant milestones, including tripling its revenue, doubling its client base, and expanding into key verticals such as retail, financial services, and critical infrastructure. These achievements were bolstered by a $20M Series B funding round, led by GV, with participation from Ballistic Ventures, who led Alethea’s Series A funding in 2022.
“The weaponization of information has fundamentally redefined how business leaders operate and safeguard their brands. In today’s digital landscape, no company is immune from targeted influence campaigns that are designed to erode trust, disrupt operations, and damage reputations,” said Lisa Kaplan, CEO of Alethea. “Leaders must move beyond reactive measures and address these threats head-on. The cost of inaction is not just reputational, it’s operational and financial, with real-world consequences. This recognition by Inc. underscores the importance of our mission and validates the impact we’re making in equipping organizations to navigate and combat today’s disinformation threats.”
Alethea’s market-leading solution combines technology, a SaaS platform driven by advanced AI and machine learning, with white-glove service through expert analysts to proactively identify and mitigate emerging threats. As cyberattacks, disinformation narratives, and influence operations continue to rise, Alethea is set to launch the Narrative Risk Management Dashboard in 2025. This cutting-edge feature within Alethea’s technology platform Artemis will provide organizations with real-time insights into the most pressing and topical risks such as stock manipulation, conspiracy theories, and ideologically motivated actors. The Narrative Risk Management Dashboard will be a vital tool for businesses to stay ahead of evolving threats and secure their reputation and market position.
“For over 40 years Inc. has been committed to recognizing America’s most dynamic businesses and honoring the great work they do. These businesses have had a profound impact on their industries, solving important problems, and shaping the future of business in ways that will have lasting effects,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Mike Hofman.
