Gudea announced a $7 million seed round on Oct 8 2026. Mudita Venture Partners and Silicon Road Ventures co-led the round, bringing total funding to about $15 million since the company launched in 2023. The startup says its software maps how information moves across more than 600 platforms and predicts when a narrative will go viral, how many people it will reach, and when it will fade. Customers include major AI firms and businesses in telecom, entertainment and retail, though they remain unnamed.
Gudea uses deep‑learning graph neural networks and a large language model to spot behavior patterns, then delivers alerts and reports to help firms manage reputational risk before a story hits the headlines.
