𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 Why disinformation risk is now budgeted - and where Brinker fits in The WEF global risk survey has ranked misinformation/disinformation as the #1 short-term threat to economies and societies for the last two years. Regulators and security agencies now treat information attacks the way we treat cyber or physical intrusions - something you must monitor, detect, and mitigate. That shift is creating durable spend. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬... 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰. The barrier to entry is coming down, and modern AI makes fake content faster and more convincing. Governments, corporates and platforms are slowly but surely responding, and new regulations require board to address the misinformation risks seriously. 💡𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫 Tachles VC portfolio company Brinker is built for these most modern of challenges, acting as a “radar + response” platform for disinformation: • 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲: AI detection and narrative intelligence to spot harmful storylines and coordinated campaigns across the open web • 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭: Automated OSINT investigations map who’s pushing what, where it’s spreading, and potential impact • 𝐀𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭: One-click playbooks - from content removal and pre-legal actions, to counter-messaging - so teams can actually reduce reach and harm 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬: Public sector and major enterprises (brand, safety, elections, geopolitics) For those working in the field, Brinker is listed on Splunkbase, and was named among “10 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐨𝐟 2025.” Information-defense tooling is already becoming the norm at the upper echelons of both the public and private sectors - there’s a market here and it will only expand in the short and medium terms.

Forget what you think you know about AI's future. 🤔 We recently brought together an exceptional panel to explore where AI is headed. Moderated by Boris Chovnik, the discussion featured industry leaders Eran Shlomo (Langware.ai), Henrik JO Karlsson (Mainspace.ai & Ultra.ai), and Pankaj Kedia (2468 Ventures). From agentic AI to large language models (LLMs), these experts unpacked both the promise and the obstacles ahead –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ infrastructure gaps, rising compute costs, cybersecurity risks, and the cloud’s role in scaling AI. They also challenged how we think about startup defensibility, market hype, and the ethical dilemmas shaping tomorrow’s AI. If you’re ready to look beyond automation and explore how AI can solve problems once thought beyond human reach, this is a must-watch. 👀 Ready to invest in the future of AI?

AI and cybersecurity are not two separate fields. They’re a powerful, interlocking force that creates a massive investment opportunity. Karel Tušek broke it down during a recent Roklen24 interview: “Their combination creates a powerful synergy. You can’t do security effectively without AI anymore. And because this area is so complex, there's not yet strong competition in this segment, which presents an attractive opportunity for us as investors.” Curious about our vision and how Tachles VC leverages the Cyberecurity, AI and Cloud self-propelled flying wheel. 👉 Read the full article and discover why we see the strongest opportunities at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and cloud infrastructure.
