By Gloria Methri

KOIOS, a financial intelligence solutions expert, has announced the completion of its seed funding rounds. The company raised $5 million from family offices and private investors to support its AI-based product, which detects online financial threats and manipulation campaigns against publicly traded companies.

Founded by former Israeli intelligence officer Ella Tkach-Dreazen and data and systems expert Ory Segev, KOIOS analyses conversations about publicly traded companies on social media sites and blogs and alerts companies to possible online manipulation efforts. The AI-driven SaaS platform provides real-time, actionable insights into these campaigns, allowing companies to foil attacks and stay ahead of the curve.

KOIOS helps Investor Relations professionals protect against pump-and-dump schemes and optimise their investor communication strategy. It is already being used by early adopters—including US-based publicly traded companies and investment relations firms. Leading IR/PR agencies, crisis management firms, and publicly traded companies use KOIOS as a tool to protect and grow their stock.

The latest Seed funding will be used to accelerate innovation further and make the solution available to companies at scale.

“The digital landscape is changing faster than most publicly traded companies can comprehend—leaving them vulnerable to online manipulation and negative influence campaigns,” said Ella Tkach Dreazen, co-founder of KOIOS. “We are honoured to have the support of our investors, who recognize KOIOS as the best solution to empower companies to protect themselves and their stock.”
