About Disruptive Industries
Disruptive Industries is a London-based technology firm, founded in 2023 by Lee Wylde, a former UK Military Intelligence operator. The company's inception was driven by Wylde's firsthand experience with the limitations of reactive defense strategies, aiming to shift the focus toward proactive threat identification. His background in uncovering hidden patterns and transforming information into operational capabilities, recognized by an MBE in 2021 for services to Defence, is foundational to the company's mission.
The firm develops technology to help organizations identify and understand threats before they emerge. It operates on a subscription-based model, offering a closed-source platform that provides clients with strategic intelligence and enhanced situational awareness. The company targets sectors such as defence, national security, finance, and insurance, including specialized markets like War Risks Insurance. Its core clients are organizations that face complex global risks and require tools that go beyond traditional Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) limitations.
Disruptive Industries' flagship product is Keystone, a risk discovery platform designed to surface overlooked insights and patterns. The company also offers products named SIEM and ODDITY. Rather than relying solely on AI, the firm's technology applies a range of computational models and data processing techniques, ensuring that conclusions are traceable to their original data sources for accountability. This technology is engineered to ingest various data feeds to map unknown risks through a modular and scalable threat sequencing system. The business has received venture capital backing and in September 2023, secured a $750K grant. A subsequent seed round in June 2024 raised $3.75M.
