Moonshot is a data analytics firm that designs specialized technology and methodologies to identify and mitigate online harms. The company operates globally to protect users from threats such as violent extremism, disinformation, and child sexual exploitation.
Moonshot has secured £5m in Series A funding from Beringea and Mercia to support its international expansion and technology development. The data analytics enterprise plans to broaden its product offerings into corporate security and scale its operations against emerging digital threats. Backing from the transatlantic and regional investors will enable the firm to further deploy its methodologies across new markets.
From the founder
"This investment marks a key moment for both Moonshot and the fight against online harm. The coming years will see incredible opportunities to deploy technology and expertise to do enormous good in this area. It is rare to find a company where the commitment to the cause is so tightly aligned with the ambition to grow and succeed."
Richard Fenning
Chair at Moonshot
Investor perspective
"It is not often that you meet a founding team that has advised heads of state alongside Facebook and Google: in Vidhya and Ross, we are working with entrepreneurs that provide world-leading perspectives on the global trends shaping the future of online threats. As Moonshot scales its presence in Washington D.C., Beringea will be working closely with the team to leverage our transatlantic footprint and build an international success story together."
