Active Founders
Arjun Bisen, Founder
I started my career as an Australian diplomat, during which time I analyzed geopolitical and economic risk across APAC and writing Australia's Cyber Engagement Strategy. I then studied the intersection of technology and risk at Harvard on a full Fulbright scholarship. I've since led risk teams at Stripe and Google Search before founding Overwatch to help those teams get ahead of emerging risks.

After graduating, Zara worked on Google Assistant then at Google’s Threat Analysis Group, where she built machine learning and software systems to use threat intelligence and malware analysis to better protect against targeted threats and disinformation by state sponsored actors.
Company Launches
Hey YC! Tad, Zara and I are excited to launch Overwatch 🦉 - to help automate global risk detection and analysis. Our tool allows enterprises to monitor data streams, including news and satellite imagery, for narratives and events that will impact their operations, supply chain, and reputation. Our tool can be used for live monitoring OR historic due-diligence on a location.
😠The Problem
- Businesses have many points of failure in their global operations and struggle to monitor all the locations and narratives that matter to them
- Current event detection tools are often noisy and don't provide any context on why that event might be significant to a specific business.
🔨Our Solution
We cut through the noise.
- We help companies filter more accurately for events and narratives that matter to them.
- We provide visualizations of how those events or narratives have changed over time and layer these events on top of other datasets, e.g. satellite imagery, shipping routes, trade data, commodity production sites, flood and fire maps, and other risk indices.
- This helps draw connections and provide a holistic picture of how that event could impact their business.
The Ask❓
- Do you (or anyone you know) struggle to detect, analyze, or predict events and narratives that could disrupt your business operations, brand, or supply chain? Then please reach out to (founders@overwatchdata.io) or book a call and we’d love to help.
- Are you a data provider with interesting risk-related data? We’d love to discuss how we might incorporate it into our product.
