The startup also announced a $5 million "rescue fund" to help credit unions ditch legacy software for its AI-native platform.

Multitude Insights has raised $10 million in Series A funding led by Primary Venture Partners to scale its AI-powered intelligence sharing platform for law enforcement. The company's platform, BLTN, modernises how police departments analyse and distribute information about suspects, missing persons and dangerous situations across jurisdictions. Co-founder Matt White said most law enforcement software remains decades outdated and wasn't designed for real-time intelligence sharing between departments, leaving officers to manually search through emails and contact neighbouring agencies for information. The platform surfaces patterns and connections but leaves final decisions to officers, displaying source data and confidence levels to prevent AI drift. White emphasised that BLTN provides information rather than making autonomous decisions, with officers retaining accountability for assessing data links. The funding will support expanded integrations and agency adoption.
