Brinker, a cutting-edge narrative intelligence platform dedicated to countering disinformation and influence campaigns, has garnered recognition as one of the “10 Most Promising Defense Tech Startups of 2025” by Défense Israel and Robel Innovations. This accolade highlights Brinker’s innovative approach to protecting governments, enterprises, and NGOs from increasingly sophisticated narrative-based threats.
The proprietary technology developed by Brinker is designed to identify malicious narratives across various platforms, languages, and geographical locations. It conducts automated OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) investigations and offers real-time mitigation options with just the press of a button. This streamlined process significantly reduces the response time from weeks to mere minutes, enabling swift and effective action against potential threats.
In October 2024, Brinker was selected to participate in the renowned Innofense program for dual-use startups, organized by SOSA and MAF’AT (DDR&D). This program aims to foster collaboration between civilian and defense markets by promoting joint technological innovation.
Disinformation has been identified by the World Economic Forum as the primary global risk, posing serious threats to social cohesion, democratic institutions, and economic stability. Brinker’s solutions not only safeguard organizations but also empower societies to defend themselves against harmful domestic and foreign influence campaigns. This proactive approach has a positive impact on communities worldwide.
The inception of Brinker was a result of the collective vision of its founders, Benny Schnaider, Daniel Ravner, and Oded Breiner. They recognized that establishing a company that is fundamentally AI-driven, as opposed to just incorporating AI as a feature, would help level the playing field in the battle against disinformation, transforming it into a more balanced conflict.
Daniel Ravner, the CEO and Co-founder of Brinker, expressed his satisfaction with the recent recognition, stating, “This acknowledgment validates our mission to revolutionize the OSINT landscape through battle-tested narrative intelligence technology.” Oded Breiner, Brinker’s CTO and Co-founder, emphasized the novelty of their approach, saying, “Our patented LLM-driven analysis enables us to detect and neutralize threats that conventional metadata-driven tools often overlook.”
Brinker’s comprehensive suite of services includes automated legal actions, platform takedowns, and counter-narratives based on behavioral economics. These tools not only eliminate threats but also actively mitigate the spread of malicious influence.
