Congratulations to @blackbird_ai, on being recognized by Gartner as a Market Shaper in the Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence - Startup Vendors. nitter.cf/blackbird_ai/status/20…
We are excited to announce that Gartner® has positioned bit.ly/4wjkTIW as A Market Shaper In The Emerging Market Quadrant for Narrative Intelligence, - Startup Vendors as of June 2026. The company placed highest for Potential to Execute and furthest to the right for Potential for Market Disruption.
“This is another tremendous milestone for the company, where Gartner’s recognition of bit.ly/4wjkTIW as the industry leader in the Narrative Intelligence category, that we helped create, reflects the mission we’ve been building toward for years,” said bit.ly/4wjkTIW co-founder and CEO Wasim Khaled.
“AI-generated influence campaigns, coordinated reputational attacks, geopolitical narratives and agentic swarms can move markets, disrupt operations, erode trust, and reach the boardroom in minutes. Narrative Intelligence Detection and Response is now critical to institutional trust, governance, and resilience."
Thank you to our customers, partners, and supporters, including Dorilton Ventures, Ten Eleven Ventures (@1011vc), and Dave DeWalt, CEO of @NightDragon, who have helped us build toward this moment.
