Following our Series C announcement, we’re proud to share a deeper look into what Strider has been building since our founding in 2019.   Over the last few years, we’ve been transforming the newest factor of production—data—into one of today’s most valuable assets: strategic intelligence.   From securing intellectual property to safeguarding emerging technologies, we’re creating the first, all-of-society intelligence solution to global challenges.   As we raise the bar with our latest fundraise, led by Pelion Venture Partners with participation from AVP (AXA Venture Partners) and Valor Equity Partners, we’re ready to amplify our efforts, equipping enterprises, universities, and governments with the intelligence they need to navigate an increasingly complex world.   Watch the video to learn how Strider is redefining intelligence.
