KOIOS, an Israeli financial intelligence startup specializing in AI-driven detection of online stock manipulation, raised $5 million from family offices and private investors.
Founded by former Israeli intelligence officer Ella Tkach-Dreazen and data systems expert Ory Segev, KOIOS has developed an AI-powered SaaS platform that analyzes conversations across social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Yahoo Finance. The technology alerts companies to potential online manipulation efforts, providing real-time, actionable insights to help them counteract negative influence campaigns.
Early adopters of the startup’s platform include US-based publicly traded companies and investor relations firms. The new funding will be used to accelerate innovation and scale the solution to a broader market.
KOIOS’s proprietary AI models sift through hundreds of millions of messages to find critical signals in vast amounts of unstructured data.
By helping investor relations professionals protect against pump-and-dump schemes and optimize their communication strategies, the startup aims to be a vital tool for safeguarding stock value.
