Brothers’ AI Startup Strider Technologies Scores $55 Million in Series C to Supercharge Intelligence Revolution
In a major leap forward for the world of strategic intelligence, Strider Technologies, a cutting-edge AI startup founded by two ambitious brothers, has secured a whopping $55 million in a Series C funding round. The infusion of cash is set to turbocharge the company’s groundbreaking research and development on artificial intelligence, expand their foothold in the government sector, and catapult their presence onto the international stage.
Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Strider Technologies is on a mission to reshape the intelligence landscape. Co-founder and COO Eric Levesque is ready to deploy their advanced AI systems to automate intelligence operations, expand large language models (LLMs), and develop in-house AI analysts capable of scaling intelligence services faster than ever before.
“The use cases we’re tackling—supply chain risk, talent analytics, and email security—are all critical in today’s market. We’re already making waves, and this funding allows us to amplify that impact,” Levesque told the Information Security Media Group.
Pioneering the Future of AI-Driven Intelligence
Founded in 2019 by brothers Greg and Eric Levesque, along with data genius Mike Brown, Strider Technologies has grown rapidly, now boasting a 158-strong team. In just four rounds of funding, they’ve amassed $112 million in total, setting themselves apart as pioneers in AI-driven strategic intelligence. The new $55 million funding round will allow Strider to supercharge the development of AI-powered intelligence analysts that operate on the firm’s proprietary data, allowing for near-limitless scaling potential.
Levesque envisions a future where human limitations no longer bottleneck intelligence services. “If we do this right, we can create a system with virtually unlimited labor,” Levesque said. “AI intelligence analysts will allow us to exponentially scale our intelligence offerings, providing unparalleled insights across industries and geographies.”
Already, Strider’s use of AI is automating intelligence processes, making data analysis lightning-fast and far more interactive for customers. By integrating large language models, the company is empowering users to sift through massive datasets and gain critical insights on geopolitical risks and intellectual property protection.
“We’re crafting a system where interacting with intelligence data is as easy as chatting with a colleague,” said Levesque. “Our platform is set to be more responsive, intuitive, and dynamic than ever before.”
Expanding in the Government Sector and Beyond
Strider Technologies isn’t just focusing on the private sector; they’re looking to transform how governments manage intelligence as well. With open-source intelligence becoming more vital to national security, Strider aims to help government agencies get a clearer picture of where nation-state risks exist within the commercial supply chain.
“Government and commercial supply chains are now inseparable,” explained Levesque. “They need robust intelligence to navigate this complex landscape. We’re helping them do that—whether it’s with policymakers needing better data or universities ensuring research security to access federal funds.”
With the geopolitical climate heating up, the demand for precise and scalable intelligence is skyrocketing. And Strider is positioning itself as the go-to solution, especially as international interest rises. They’ve already established offices in London and Japan to capitalize on the growing focus on economic security and the interplay between national and economic interests.
A Unique Approach in a Crowded Market
Strider’s secret sauce? Their focus on open-source intelligence, a key differentiator from typical cyber intelligence firms. Their work on specific areas like geopolitical risk, intellectual property protection, and vendor due diligence ensures they stay ahead of the curve. And the real competition? Building these systems in-house, which most companies are finding far too daunting to pursue.
“We’re not going up against other vendors,” Levesque said confidently. “The choice for companies is simple: either build it themselves or bring us in.”
With $55 million in fresh funding and a bold vision for the future, Strider Technologies is not just growing—it’s on the brink of revolutionizing the very way intelligence is gathered, analyzed, and acted upon across the globe. Keep your eyes on this rising star in the AI world—they’re just getting started.
