Redpoint Advisors Acquires South Africa's VoxCroft Analytics

South African open-source intelligence company VoxCroft Analytics has been acquired by the US-based Redpoint Advisors.

Founded in 2018, VoxCroft was founded on a conviction that the most consequential intelligence gaps in today’s world are not in well-documented markets, but in austere information environments, the often overlooked places and societies quietly shaping the 21st century. 

The company developed a proprietary approach it calls population-centric intelligence – a blend of hyperlocal data collection, low-resource machine translation, AI public sentiment analytics, and specialised human wisdom that enables governments and global organisations to make sense of environments where conventional intelligence tools simply do not reach. 

VoxCroft, which raised close to US$2 million in Series A funding from Knife Capital back in 2021, has now been acquired by Redpoint Advisors, in a direct capability play. Redpoint delivers intelligence, geopolitical risk, insider risk, and overwatch services to private, commercial, and government clients worldwide. 

The acquisition of VoxCroft’s intelligence platform creates a combined capability with significant relevance to government clients and global organisations navigating complex, high-risk environments. “We founded Redpoint Advisors to be a high-touch, bespoke advisory firm for global clients operating in the most complex environments. The acquisition of VoxCroft enhances the capabilities we can bring to our clients and allows us to extend VoxCroft’s reach into additional sectors.

 We appreciate the partnership with Knife Capital throughout this transaction and look forward to jointly growing VoxCroft South Africa,” said Michael LaFontaine, co-founder and managing director of Redpoint Advisors.
