"Electric Twin was born from our experience leading through crisis, where we spotted a common problem: too many decisions had to be made with incomplete information.

This investment will enable us to scale our vision and put synthetic audiences at the heart of business strategies."

This funding allows us to continue on our growth trajectory and scale our products internationally."
