Logically, which is using AI to assist governments, businesses and individuals in dealing with harmful misinformation, has already raised over £2M on Seedrs. This crowdfunding campaign follows successes deploying services in three elections across India and the USA – and the live fact checking of the US presidential debates.
The anti-misinformation leader’s products are used by governments, social platforms and brands – helping them to cope with communities from QAnon to the anti-vax movement. Its combo of state-of-the-art AI and the largest dedicated fact-checking team in the world aims to nip disinformation campaigns in the bud. Any member of the public can read accurate and unbiased headlines via the Logically app.
According to founder and CEO Lyric Jain comments:
“Since I founded the company three years ago, we have seen the phenomenon of mis and disinformation take root, evolve and proliferate. Its proponents’ strategies and networks have become more sophisticated, and tackling them requires an equally sophisticated response.”
“By way of real and immediate threats, we need look no further than the enormous misinformation challenge any Covid vaccination campaign will encounter. With this additional investment, we’ll be able to increase the speed and scale of the products and services Logically has developed that can make a real difference.”
Founded by an expert in music for psychedelic therapy and featuring a host of word-class collaborators, Wavepaths has beaten its £265K crowdfunding target with plenty of time left to go. One collaborator, Brian Eno, comments:
“Recently I’ve wanted … to draw … connections between particular visual and aural experiences and the mental states they give rise to. I would also like to extend the reach of my own work into specifically therapeutic avenues. Wavepaths offers me the chance to do both.”
A list of 1,800+ clinics and therapists are waiting to make full use of Wavepath’s healing combination of music, technology and psychedelic science. Its personalised, generative music system facilitates lifechanging experiences with music, remote or in-person, for use during psychedelic therapy, psychotherapy & coaching, or for self-guided use at home.
