South African open-source intelligence company VoxCroft Analytics has raised close to US$2 million in Series A funding from Knife Capital to expedite its already-rapid expansion in the United States and other international markets. Founded in 2018, VoxCroft specialises in open-source intelligence (OSINT), an oft-neglected source of insight differentiated from the other forms of intelligence such as human intelligence (HUMINT) or signals intelligence (SIGINT) in that it relies on open-source data. South Africa chief executive officer (CEO) Barend Lutz said the startup was excited to work with Knife Capital on its growth plan. “The collection and analytical components in open-source intelligence are increasingly sophisticated and critical to public and private sector success in anticipating risk faster than ever before. With Knife Capital investment, VoxCroft is poised to redefine how information can be discovered, analyzed, and delivered across the globe,” he said.
