InfoHawk Raises $2.25M in Pre-Seed Funding Led by Moonshots Capital

The company plans to use the funding to expand its operations and accelerate the development of its products and technologies.

Fraud and scams have become one of the biggest challenges of the digital era. In 2025, consumers worldwide lost an estimated $442 billion to scams. In addition, the global market for counterfeit goods is estimated to be worth around $467 billion annually. If scams were an economy, they would rank among the world's largest by size.

The rise of AI is making scams even more sophisticated. Fraudsters can now quickly create fake websites, videos and digital content that closely resemble legitimate brands and organizations. Businesses are increasingly facing brand impersonation, account takeovers and deepfake attacks targeting employees.

Because scammers operate across multiple countries and online platforms, identifying and stopping them is extremely difficult. As a result, todays fraud ecosystem is more efficient, less expensive for criminals to run, and harder to detect than ever before.

InfoHawk helps organizations detect, investigate and stop online scams and fraud at scale. Through high-performance API's, the platform combines advanced content analysis with infrastructure intelligence to identify deceptive online activity.

Its technology enables businesses to better protect their customers and users from digital fraud, fake websites, impersonation attempts, and other online threats.
