A nonprofit developing the transparency layer for humans to trust online information.

The newsrooms, public-health workers, election observers, and civil-society researchers we build with rarely have the budgets of well-resourced incumbents. Our job is to keep that gap from deciding who gets access to good information infrastructure. We design for resource-constrained partners first, then scale the same systems to everyone else, so the same innovation is available to a small newsroom in the Global Majority and a national press agency alike.

Operating as a 501(c)(3) is what makes that possible. It lets us hold our methods open, keep our data partnerships platform-approved and accountable, and treat trust-and-safety infrastructure as public-interest research that anyone can audit, rather than a product locked behind enterprise pricing.

We're funded by philanthropies (Ford, Omidyar, Mozilla, Wikimedia, Goethe Institut), platforms (Google, Amazon, Cohere AI collaboration), academic partners (MIT, NYU, INSEAD, Harvard, Mannheim), and earned revenue from paid pilots with newsrooms and tech companies. Earned income reached $15K in quarterly revenue in 2025, alongside our philanthropic grants, giving us the room to take on partnerships that don't fit any single funder's frame.
