Misinformation and disinformation content has continued to increase across social media channels, and its effects have impacted every type of organization, from the public to private organizations. A Tel Aviv, Israel-based startup called Cyabra has built a SaaS platform that measures authenticity and impact within the online conversation, detects false information and its authors, and further analyzes it to connect the dots.

Angel investors, including former global co-GM of Samsung Pay Will Graylin and former CPO of Tinder Brian Norgard, also joined in the round.
