Factiverse: Combating Disinformation with AI Innovation

Norwegian startup Factiverse aims to combat online disinformation using AI, particularly in the context of the U.S. 2024 presidential election. The company offers a B2B tool for live fact-checking of text, video, and audio, helping businesses mitigate reputational and legal risks. Founded by Maria Amelie and Vinay Setty, Factiverse's model is based on information retrieval rather than large language models, and it outperforms several LLMs in identifying and verifying claims. The startup has raised $1.45 million in pre-seed funding and is seeking further investment to expand globally.
