Strider Technologies is a strategic intelligence company that builds an AI-powered platform transforming open-source data into actionable insights to protect organizations from state-sponsored threats like intellectual property theft, talent poaching, and supply chain risks.[1][2][5] It serves Fortune 500 companies, government entities, academic institutions, and research organizations worldwide, enabling faster, more confident decision-making in a geopolitical landscape where adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran target industry and academia.[1][2][3] With operations in 15 countries, over 250 employees, $112 million in venture funding, multiple patents, and recognition as the #6 most innovative security company by Fast Company in 2025, Strider demonstrates strong growth momentum as a category creator in strategic intelligence.[2]
Strider Technologies was co-founded in 2019 by Greg Levesque, Eric Levesque, and Mike Brown, who identified a critical gap in using big data to combat state-sponsored IP theft.[1][2] Greg Levesque, now CEO, was a leading expert on economic espionage; Eric focused on tech investments for organizations and governments; and Mike Brown served as CTO at companies like ComScore.[1] Launching in May 2019 from Salt Lake City, the company quickly expanded to offices in Washington, DC, London, and Tokyo, growing to over 200 employees (now 250+), securing $112 million in VC including a $55 million Series C led by Pelion Venture Partners, and establishing global operations.[2][3]
Strider rides the wave of escalating geopolitical competition, where nation-states shift from traditional espionage to "whole-of-society" attacks targeting industry, academia, and supply chains for tech dominance.[2][3] Its timing aligns with exploding open-source data volumes—now a key economic factor—amplified by AI for rapid analysis amid U.S.-China tensions and threats from Russia/Iran.[1][7] Market forces like rising nation-state cyber risks and regulatory demands for supply chain security favor Strider, influencing the ecosystem by pioneering strategic intelligence as a defensive layer for innovation, fostering academic partnerships via Strider Impact, and equipping non-state actors as frontline defenders.[2][7]
Strider is poised to dominate as geopolitical risks intensify, expanding its platform with new AI capabilities, international growth, and philanthropic initiatives like Strider Impact to build analyst talent and datasets.[2][3][7] Trends in AI-driven OSINT, supply chain scrutiny, and hybrid warfare will propel demand, potentially evolving Strider into an indispensable infrastructure for global innovation protection—much like how it began by filling a data gap, now securing the free world's tech edge.[1][2]
Strider Technologies has raised $55.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $55.0M Series C in September 2024.
