Signal AI, the leading global risk and reputation intelligence platform, today announced that Battery Ventures will lead a £120m growth-equity investment in the company.
Founded in 2013 by CEO David Benigson, Signal AI pioneered the application of AI to identify overlooked corporate risks within unstructured data. Serving more than 650 enterprises worldwide, including brands such as Diageo, NetApp, Volvo, Bloomberg and Uber, the platform proactively detects emerging risks ranging from regulatory to cyber and supply chain. It equips risk and communications leaders with predictive decision intelligence to monitor, measure and manage their organisation’s exposure.
By analysing billions of data points across news, regulation, social media and litigation, Signal AI enables clients to uncover threats, benchmark reputation against peers and act before events impact stakeholder trust. Its insights are used across industries: from streaming companies tracking regulatory shifts, to retailers spotting cyber vulnerabilities, to banks monitoring geopolitical risk and governments benchmarking accountability.
Signal AI recently launched Ask AIQ, an agentic AI designed for executives to query global risks, simulate scenarios and receive real-time intelligence.
With the new investment, Battery will hold a majority stake while existing investors Highland Europe, Mercuri and MMC Ventures retain minority positions. Signal AI plans to accelerate product development, pursue strategic acquisitions, and expand across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Evercore acted as financial advisor and Wilson Sonsini as legal advisor. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2025.
