About

Source: flare.io

Flare describes itself as an identity-first cyber threat intelligence SaaS platform that combines proprietary collection from across the dark and clear web with radical ease of use. The company was founded in 2017 by three red-teamers working in financial services, and says its mission is to make cybercrime irrelevant by collapsing the gap between detection and remediation from days to seconds.

  • Raised a US$30M Series B led by Base10 Partners, with Inovia Capital, White Star Capital and Fonds de solidarite FTQ. flare.io

  • BetaKit reported that Series B as $42.5M CAD, bringing total funding raised to at least $53M CAD. betakit.com

  • Launched Identity Exposure Management on October 15, 2025, stating the platform is already trusted by hundreds of leading enterprises. flare.io
