Multitude Insights, a Boston-based real-time intelligence platform for law enforcement, has raised $10M in Series A funding led by Primary Venture Partners. The BLTN platform replaces static PDFs, emails, and chat threads with collaborative, searchable AI-powered bulletins to share intel and detect patterns. The capital will scale nationwide expansion, integrations, and AI features like SmartLink.
VC Thaw Fuels Public Safety Tech
The raise aligns with a VC shift toward law enforcement software, as noted by WSJ and Axios reports on surging investments. Mark43, a cloud-native CAD/RMS provider, has raised over $250M total. Multitude Insights layers intel sharing atop such systems via recent Mark43 integration, addressing siloed data gaps in multi-agency investigations.
Emails Bury Critical Intel Leads
Law enforcement agencies lose time digging through inboxes for suspect details or patterns, with bulletins often going unread at 4% open rates. Over 1,000 bulletins were canceled on BLTN last year, half for resolved missing persons cases. Static tools fail amid rising cross-jurisdictional crimes needing real-time coordination.
BLTN Enables Searchable Bulletins
BLTN turns intel into atomic, linkable units with advanced search, photo analysis, and priority notifications. SmartLink AI scans 1,500 variables including images and LPR data to auto-connect cases across agencies. Unlike predictive tools from Benchmark Analytics or KeyCrime, it provides transparent pattern surfacing without autonomous decisions.
SmartLink Surfaces Hidden Patterns
As Matthew White, CEO noted:
"Officers shouldn’t have to dig through emails or call neighboring departments to find out if someone else has seen the same suspect, vehicle or pattern."
This human-overseen AI boosts bulletin open rates 11x to 44% and cuts creation time 80%, per customer data. Integrations pull data directly from CAD/RMS like Mark43, streamlining workflows.
Primary Venture Signals Scale Bet
Primary Venture Partners led with Commonweal Ventures, Counterview Capital, VSC Ventures, NEC, and others joining. NEC's participation adds strategic tech validation for AI compliance. Investors back growth capital amid 1000% MAU growth to 60+ agencies across 10 states.
$20B Market Eyes AI Upgrades
Law enforcement software hit $20.29B in 2026, projected to reach $50.32B by 2035 at 10.62% CAGR. Competitors include PublicEngines for intel aggregation and Adventos for agency management, but few match BLTN's real-time collaboration. VC poured $990M YTD into public safety tech per WSJ.
Inter-Agency Coordination Drives Demand
Cloud shifts and AI trends favor platforms fixing legacy silos. Multitude's CJIS, SOC 2 Type II, and TX-RAMP compliance positions it for fusion centers and federal adoption. Mark43 partnership exemplifies ecosystem stacking.
MIT Alums Lead Domain Experts
Co-founders include Navy intelligence veteran Matthew White (MIT/Harvard) and MIT MBA Akihiko Izu, backed by CTO Frank Conry (ex-Klaviyo, gov GIS). Team holds 115+ years in LE, military, and public safety tech like Reveal ($30M raised). Ex-Mark43 leaders drive sales and success.
Nationwide Rollout Accelerates
Post-raise plans target Pacific Northwest office, sales hires like West Point grad Jake Laughlin, and features like iOS sharing. Mark43 integration live, MissionRT partnership expands channels. 60+ agencies including Boston PD signal path to standard intel layer.
