The military forces of NATO member nations, US, UK, and European enterprises, and UK embassies all employ the technology.
Ksenia Iliuk, co-founder of LetsData, commented on the raise: “LetsData began as a bootstrapped venture during the onset of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, when we saw a spike in demand from companies and governments requiring advanced InfoOps detection. Typically, organizations rely on understaffed teams or communications departments that are ill-equipped to handle these kinds of threats.
"LetsData bridges this gap by providing a security-first approach to InfoOps, enabling clients to act on alerts from day one of onboarding without the need for complex training or resource-intensive processes. Our ambition is to become the industry standard for InfoOps detection and disrupt the industry by delivering actionable intelligence that empowers organizations to respond swiftly and effectively.”
Borys Musielak, founding partner at SMOK Ventures added: “I loved how Ksenia and Andriy bootstrapped their way to profitability without even raising external funding. Their technology is already helping to stop the information operations and with a growing list of high-value clients, our investment will help support them as they scale to meet the increasing demand for advanced InfoOps protection.”
