“Our competitor is really the hackers and bad actors who are actually creating the deep fakes or the agentic voices to call financial fraud, identity fraud, or try to damage a person, a company, a government, or an election.”

Ben Colman, CEO of Reality Defender, tells CB Insights how they view the market, customer needs, and their company.
How do you define the market you compete in and what is a customer basically buying from you?
We work in deep fake and agentic detection, which is basically a completely new market. It’s a new category. So we are both working to create a completely new category while at the same time working to be the best at it as well. I wouldn’t say we really have that many outright competitors.
