Factiverse is growing! Over the last year:
– we expanded our team from 2 to 6 full-time employees and 3 part-time interns
– secured 1 million euro in funding from incredible investors, Innovation Norway and NFR
– developed our prototypes in the fight against misinformation and landed meetings with major media players in the US, UK, and Norway
– finished two accelerators that resulted in funding – Valide ITSA and Startuplab
Together with researchers, journalists, and the media, we are now making it easier and faster to access credible sources online.
