Tadaweb raises $20M to scale human-centric small data operating system

SaaS startup Tadaweb has secured $20 million to scale its Small Data Operating System for publicly available information (PAI) and open-source intelligence (OSINT). 

The SaaS platform is used by defence, national security, public safety, cyber threat intelligence, and corporate security organisations across Europe and the US to boost the efficiency of analysts and investigators by reducing time to insight from days to minutes. 

This funding brings the total investment in Tadaweb to $40 million, 

Publicly Available Information (PAI) comes from open sources like news, social media, public records, and online platforms. Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the process of gathering and analysing this data to support decision-making — and makes up 80–90% of intelligence work for law enforcement and governments.

For public and private sectors, rapid PAI analysis enables accurate insights in volatile markets. But with growing data volumes, even well-resourced teams risk being overwhelmed, making it harder to extract timely, high-value intelligence.

Tadaweb enhances analysts' Small Data capabilities – the precise, manageable information a human can process — through an AI-powered Operating System that integrates a suite of products with third-party web tools and APIs. It enables the seamless ingestion of PAI, commercial datasets, and emerging sources to support faster, more accurate decision-making.

While most solutions focus solely on automation and Big Data, Tadaweb flips the model, with a solution that reduces investigation time to insight from days to minutes. 

Francois Gaspard, CEO and co-founder of Tadaweb, said: 

“Our mission is to make the world safer by empowering the human mind with the right information at the right time. Almost everyone is looking to AI for a solution.

 Our focus is on transparency, not delivering another black box. We embrace AI, while ensuring our solution keeps the human in control. True impact comes from putting humans in the centre. 

By augmenting analysts with our Small Data Operating System, we’re doing just that.”

Arsenal Growth and Forgepoint Capital International led the investment, with participation from existing investor Wendel. 

Both Jason Rottenberg, General Partner at Arsenal Growth, and Damien Henault, Managing Director at Forgepoint Capital International, will join the Tadaweb board. 

Jason Rottenberg, co-founder and General Partner at Arsenal Growth, said:

“Tadaweb has built a genuinely human-centric Operating System that is solely focused on making analysts dramatically more productive. "

Damien Henault, Managing Director at Forgepoint Capital International, said: 

“Many players claim to help organisations with OSINT, but they offer a set of features, not a fully integrated end-to-end platform. 

Three things attracted us to Tadaweb and how its Operating System helps analysts be more productive: its Small Data approach combined with a unique low/no-code visual query engine, the way it prioritises the human analyst, not the data, and its hyper-focused management team committed to delivering value for its customers."

The capital will advance the company's momentum, supporting product development and recruiting top talent as Tadaweb continues its worldwide expansion and goes to market across public and private sectors.
