Base Operations operates a SaaS platform that aggregates, visualizes, and interprets the world's threat data to help companies keep people and assets safe. The platform increases organizational resilience by surfacing tailored insights and notifying security teams about changes and drivers of threats around thousands of business-relevant locations. In November the company launched an Enterprise offering that enhanced its database of global threat patterns into a tailored platform for security teams. The product helps prevent incidents such as retail and cargo theft and property damage, supports duty of care for traveling or remote employees, and aids strategic initiatives like new market entry, business continuity planning, and dynamic allocation of security resources. Financially, Base Operations recently closed a $9.1M Series A, an up round that reflects traction under difficult market conditions. The company intends to use the funding to augment forecasting capabilities, expand data strategies in emerging markets, programmatically generate detailed reports and analysis, and enhance tailored recommendations. Base Operations also plans to hire across go-to-market, product, and technology roles.

Customers include Moderna and other Fortune 500 firms across life sciences, technology, financial services, and consulting with complex global footprints.
