Alethea Group, Inc., branded Alethea, is the US artificial-intelligence risk-intelligence software company operating alethea.com. Its own legal privacy notice and terms identify the corporation; historical Alethea Group branding at aletheagroup.com refers to the same issuer. It is distinct from the unrelated Alethea AI cryptocurrency/NFT platform. Lisa Kaplan founded the company in2019. Its Artemis platform combines machine learning with analyst intelligence to identify, assess and respond to online narrative threats, disinformation, coordinated manipulation and threats of physical violence affecting companies, nonprofits and public institutions. Current published products include Risk Radar, Artemis for Security and agentic AI mitigation/takedown tools. It serves communications, cybersecurity and physical-security teams; reported detection performance, business outcomes and attribution assessments are company claims, not independent guarantees. The company’s AI software scope is established by its own product descriptions and GV’s explicit AI portfolio classification. Its current leadership directory publishes eight people, including a separately qualified principal advisor. A December9,2025 announcement adds independent director Edgard Capdevielle. Public named leadership is recorded without implying a complete private staff census. Primary sources confirm a USD10M SeriesA announced November2,2022 led by Ballistic Ventures and a USD20M SeriesB announced April9,2024 led by GV with Ballistic Ventures and Hakluyt Capital participating. USD34M cumulative funding reported in2024 is not an additional financing or proof of an undisclosed seed round’s date, ticket or participants. A January4,2022 AFWERX SBIR PhaseI contract announcement is recorded separately as a non-equity award of undisclosed amount, without asserting cash disbursement or a contracting legal entity. Individual investor representatives are not personal buyers unless explicitly identified.
