{"id":"19a53cfa-25a1-4546-8cb5-de2f3b00e000","companyId":"66449922-b6f6-4eea-a6e3-67be0ab6b19a","summary":"Cyabra, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYAB) is a publicly traded AI-powered SaaS company that detects, analyzes, and helps organizations mitigate online disinformation, coordinated inauthentic behavior, deepfakes, and harmful narrative campaigns. Founded in Israel and incorporated as a Delaware corporation following a 2026 SPAC merger, it serves commercial enterprises and public-sector agencies globally. The company operates at the intersection of social media intelligence (SOCMINT), narrative intelligence, and brand-protection cybersecurity.","sections":[{"body":"Cyabra, Inc. provides AI-powered SaaS technology that monitors and analyzes publicly available online data—including social media networks, news sites, and alternative media—to identify fake profiles, bot networks, coordinated influence operations, deepfakes, and AI-generated content [1][7]. The platform analyzes three foundational elements it calls information integrity: actors, behaviors, and content, translating evidence into actionable mitigation steps for existing workflows [1]. Cyabra markets its platform to two primary segments: commercial enterprises seeking brand-reputation and communications intelligence, and public-sector organizations—including government agencies and defense entities—focused on election security, foreign interference, and national security threats [7][11]. The company describes its delivery model as a recurring-revenue SaaS subscription, supplemented by API access, alert systems, and managed services [7]. Cyabra occupies a distinct position from conventional social media listening tools by focusing on the authenticity of profiles and the structure of coordinated campaigns, rather than aggregate mention volume or sentiment alone [44].","heading":"Overview"},{"body":"Cyabra was founded in 2017 by Dan Brahmy (CEO), Yossef Daar, and Ido Shraga, with roots in Israeli intelligence and special-operations expertise [17][30]. The company's first funding round occurred in June 2018 [6]. A $5.6 million Series A led by OurCrowd followed in October 2021, with participation from investors including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, Harpoon Ventures, Alabaster, Accomplice, Red Shepherd Ventures, Summus Z, TAU Ventures, and Capital Y Management [3]. Total pre-IPO funding reached approximately $16 million across multiple rounds [9]. In July 2024, Cyabra announced a definitive agreement to merge with Trailblazer Merger Corporation I (Nasdaq: TBMC), a blank-check SPAC, at an enterprise value of $70 million [3][27]. Trailblazer stockholders approved the business combination on February 18, 2026 [22]. The merger closed on March 27, 2026, and Cyabra's common stock began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol CYAB on that date [23]. The combined company operates as Cyabra, Inc., a Delaware corporation, under the continuing leadership of CEO Dan Brahmy [22]. Former U.S. Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo joined the company's board prior to the Nasdaq listing [3].","heading":"History"},{"body":"PitchBook classifies Cyabra's primary industry as Media and Information Services (B2B), and the company additionally operates within what analysts categorize as social media intelligence (SOCMINT) and narrative intelligence [8][45]. In June 2026, Gartner named Cyabra a Market Shaper in its inaugural Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence—Startup Vendors, referencing its role in addressing AI-driven manipulation [43]. In April 2025, Frost & Sullivan awarded Cyabra its 2025 North American Technology Innovation Leadership Award following independent analysis of the SOCMINT market [48]. Documented clients include Warner Media, which used the platform during the launch of Wonder Woman 1984 to identify and remove fake social profiles, and PepsiCo, whose Senior Director of Corporate Reputation Strategy and Insights is cited as a reference on the company's website [3][60]. The company states it has supported election monitoring across 19 democracies [45]. Cyabra has also been added to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) schedule, enabling U.S. government agencies to procure its technology [53]. As of the quarter ending March 31, 2026, Cyabra reported trailing twelve-month revenue of $5.86 million [8]. Full-year 2025 revenue was $5.71 million, an increase of approximately 37% over 2024's $4.16 million [20].","heading":"Market Position"},{"body":"PitchBook identifies Cyabra's competitive set as including Talkwalker, Brandwatch, Babel Street, BLACKBIRD.AI, and Dataminr, among others [32]. CB Insights similarly lists Blackbird.AI, ZeroFox, Talkwalker, Dataminr, Sprinklr, and Babel Street as comparable vendors [31]. Cyabra and BLACKBIRD.AI share the brand-protection and narrative-intelligence space, with both focusing on disinformation and coordinated inauthentic behavior detection; a third-party comparison notes that Cyabra differentiates through fake and inauthentic social media profile detection, deepfake content detection, and GenAI-generated content identification [33]. Broader social listening platforms such as Brandwatch and Talkwalker focus primarily on mention volume, sentiment, and consumer intelligence, whereas Cyabra describes its differentiation as measuring authenticity—identifying which profiles are inauthentic and whether narratives are being artificially amplified—rather than measuring volume and sentiment alone [44]. ZeroFox is listed by G2 as the most common alternative to Cyabra in the disinformation detection tools category [37]. Cyabra is also positioned in the competitive set against ActiveFence, Alethea, and Graphika in analyst and competitive-intelligence databases [34].","heading":"Competition"}],"keyFacts":[{"label":"Founded","value":"2017","sourceIndex":17},{"label":"Headquarters","value":"Tel Aviv, Israel (operational);
