- Krizo's capabilities will be integrated into Dataminr Pulse, the company's

reputational risk.

Dataminr, the leading real-time information discovery platform, today announced 
it is acquiring Krizo, an innovative real-time crisis response platform for 
global enterprises. Krizo's capabilities will be fully integrated into Dataminr

"We are thrilled to welcome the highly talented Krizo team to Dataminr. The 
pioneering product they've built will further expand the value of our real-time 
information discovery platform for our corporate customers," said Dataminr 
Founder and CEO, Ted Bailey. "Unexpected events can occur anywhere across the 
world at any moment –– such as a supply chain disruption caused by a natural 
disaster or a ransomware attack impacting a critical business system –– 
radically affecting a company's people, assets, and operations. With Krizo's 
real-time crisis response platform integrated into Dataminr Pulse, our 
corporate customers will accelerate the speed at which they take action on the 
real-time events, threats and risks discovered by Dataminr's AI platform."

Krizo, a Copenhagen-based technology company, has created a new category of 
corporate collaboration platform that is purpose-built for enabling the fastest 
and most efficient real-time corporate response to unexpected crises. In the 
five years since its founding, Krizo has established itself as a product 
innovator, relied on by global enterprises including Fujifilm, Vodafone, 
Maersk, and Palo Alto Networks.

Krizo's adaptable platform enables teams to plan for, simulate and activate 
rapid real time responses to a diverse set of high-impact physical world 
events, cyber threats, supply chain disruptions, and emerging reputational 
risks. The platform provides a robust library of easily customizable 
operational playbooks, enabling instant cross-organization coordination and 
communication in the face of numerous types of real time unexpected business 
disruptions and crisis situations. "Pulse will enable corporations to prepare 
for the unexpected, with easy-to-action response playbooks created for the full 
range of crisis response scenarios triggered by Dataminr alerts," Bailey added.

Using Pulse, global enterprises will be able to cross-functionally collaborate 
in new ways and more comprehensively respond to the growing set of increasingly 
complex realtime risks discovered by Dataminr. "At Krizo, we've worked 
hand-in-hand with the world's largest global corporations for years to create a 
simple-to-use real-time crisis response platform that enables the most 
effective holistic and cross-organizational corporate response when unexpected 
disaster strikes," said Krizo's Co-Founder and COO Magnus Josias.

"It is a natural fit for us to join Dataminr, the pioneering AI company that 
has revolutionized early event discovery. Corporations will not only discover 
events faster than was ever before possible with Dataminr's AI platform, but 
also be able to seamlessly respond to those events in the fastest and most 
efficient manner with Krizo's real-time crisis response platform," said Krizo's 
Co-Founder and CEO Emil Emil Stenbog.

Relied on by over half of the Fortune 50, Dataminr Pulse has established a wide 
footprint across many commercial sectors including technology; finance; retail; 
food and beverage; transportation and logistics; energy; telecom; healthcare; 
automotive; insurance; and pharma. Dataminr's corporate business line has 
doubled in revenue growth three years in a row, with significant expansion 
globally across North America, EMEA and APAC. The acquisition of Krizo will 
further deepen Dataminr's client footprint across the European market.

The acquisition of Krizo comes just months after Dataminr's July 2021 
acquisition of Watchkeeper and its $475M growth capital financing in April 
2021, which valued the company at $4.1B. With the integration of both 
WatchKeeper's geovisualization platform, and Krizo's real-time crisis response 
platform, Dataminr Pulse will enable corporate enterprises to discover, 
contextualize and rapidly and most effectively respond to events in real time. 
The new version of Dataminr Pulse, which includes both WatchKeeper and Krizo's 
capabilities, will be available to both new and existing corporate customers at 
the start of 2022.
