Factal

Founded in 2018, we are an information services company that provides real-time, verified intelligence on global critical events. Our experienced journalists work with machine learning and AI to quickly identify, verify, and geolocate incidents. Our core offering helps organizations protect people, avoid disruptions, and enable automation when unexpected events occur.

We offer instant, verified alerts for high-risk events, often detected from social media before mainstream coverage. We also provide proximity alerts for facilities or travelers, and a global safety app available in enterprise and personal safety editions. Through an alliance with International SOS, we provide traveler monitoring and alerts for nearby critical events. Our platform includes True Impact™, an AI-powered technology that assesses event impact on company locations, routes, and travelers. We also offer a chat network for security professionals, risk analytics, AI reports, and Flash Briefings with our editors, and support integrations with other systems.

We serve clients in corporate security, travel safety, operational resilience, business continuity, disaster response, crisis communications, and content verification. Our clients include Marriott, Salesforce, Team Rubicon, and Land O’ Lakes. We also offer our services for free to qualified disaster response and humanitarian aid NGOs, and fact checkers.

Our mission is to protect people from imminent harm and assist those in immediate need. We emphasize earning trust through high editorial ethics.

Our team continuously innovates to deliver critical information quickly, intelligently, and accurately. We believe that in a world of misinformation, facts save lives.

We are a profitable, VC-funded company with 11-50 employees. We are growing quickly and building a diverse team of creative individuals who find purpose in their work.

We have hybrid offices in Seattle and London, and support remote roles, including for U.S. West Coast and US/UK residents. We operate as a mission-driven organization focused on impact.

We provide full medical, vision, and dental coverage, along with a basic life insurance policy fully covered by us.

Our benefits include generous paid time off, 12 paid holidays, and parental leave up to 12 weeks paid. Employees can also participate in a 401(k) plan and receive stock options. We support flexible working hours and organize work retreats.
