AlertMedia Built a Business for the Moment the Group Chat Fails
The Austin software company turned a simple question - who is in danger, and did they get the message? - into a platform used by more than 3,500 organizations. Its next act is using AI to spot trouble before the first alert is sent.
Dispel
Dispel is an Austin, Texas-based operational technology (OT) cybersecurity company that builds a Zero Trust Engine for industrial control systems. Its platform combines secure remote access, real-time industrial data streaming, unified OT connectivity (OTFusion), and 24/7 threat monitoring, all built around Moving Target Defense - a technique that constantly shifts network paths so attackers never get a stable target. Dispel lets manufacturers, utilities, energy operators, and government agencies give vendors and engineers fast, audited access to plant equipment without the friction of legacy VPNs and jump boxes.
Moonshot
Moonshot is a London-founded technology and intelligence company that maps and disrupts online harms - from violent extremism and disinformation to gender-based violence, human trafficking, and harassment of public figures. Founded in 2015 by Vidhya Ramalingam and Ross Frenett, the firm pairs data science, OSINT, and behavioral research with field interventions like its pioneering Redirect Method, which steers people searching for extremist content toward safer alternatives. It works for governments, technology platforms (Google, Facebook, Spotify), and, more recently, sports organizations protecting athletes from online abuse.
