SUMMARY

  • Golden Owl, a DeepTech startup based in Alicante, has raised €1.4 million in Seed funding to advance its anticipatory intelligence operating system, designed to identify complex patterns across informational, geopolitical and business environments.

The round was led by venture capital firm First Drop, with additional backing from business angels and public funding sources, including Empresa Nacional de Innovación (ENISA) and the NEOTEC grant from CDTI.

Golden Owl is a Spanish startup focused on external intelligence, advanced Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), and complex risk detection.

The company has developed an intelligence operating system that goes beyond traditional data analysis by combining OSINT, multi-source data fusion, and multi-agent systems to transform fragmented information into structured, traceable, and actionable insights including data from non-indexed sources.

Its platform integrates access to open, deep, and dark web data, while enabling large-scale fusion of diverse and multimodal information. It also builds dynamic models of entities, contexts, and relationships, allowing for real-time detection of anomalies, patterns, and correlations.

With automated reasoning, cross-validation, and a multi-agent architecture made up of specialised agents, the system is designed to uncover hidden dynamics, influence networks, coordinated behaviour, and early signals of risk.

Operating at the intersection of information, risk and decision-making Golden Owl serves use cases across security, defence and business strategy. The company emphasises explainability, traceability and alignment with European regulatory standards.

With the new funding, Golden Owl plans to strengthen its proprietary technology, expand capabilities across non-indexed data sources and accelerate deployment in sectors such as energy, logistics, industry, security and the public sector.

The company positions itself as an “invisible layer” supporting decision-making. By reducing information overload and cognitive fatigue, its technology aims to improve strategic clarity and what it describes as “informational health.” Its broader goal is to shift from simply analysing data to anticipating developments turning complexity into actionable insight and enabling more precise decisions in uncertain environments.

“We are operating in an environment where information manipulation, competitive pressure and operational uncertainty coexist. Informational risk can outweigh technical or financial risk,” said Ana Beik, CEO and co-founder.
