Bolster detects, takes down, and monitors phishing, fraud, and scam activity across the web, social media, app stores, and the dark web. Its core product delivers multi-channel phishing protection by rendering verdicts within milliseconds using large language models (LLMs) and a large structured phishing dataset. Since 2017 the company has trained models on over 100TB of structured data including URLs, domains, natural language text, and emails. Bolster created CheckPhish in 2018, a phish and scam detection site with over 20% of the Fortune 500 registered as users. The company plans to use the new funding to invest in GTM initiatives prioritizing executive monitoring, business email compromise (BEC) attack detection and takedown, and threat-hunting automation. The Series B increases Bolster's funding base and supports scaling of its detection and takedown capabilities.

Bolster announced a $15M financing and intends to use the funds to accelerate growth. The company also added two new board members as part of the financing: Shirish Sathaye (General Partner at Cervin) and Manoj Apte (security industry veteran and former Chief Strategy Officer at Zscaler).
