Company mission

To make the internet a safer place.

Our take

The internet is often an equally incredible and terrifying place, with the vast amount of information that can be found beyond what we imagined. Online security and safety is most definitely something that users worry about. TrustLab is a web security platform developer looking to create a safer internet for everyone.

The company looks to support its clients by mitigating customer risks within their business. The solution aids the reduction of things like misinformation and hate speech. TrustLab is now the security provider for some of the largest online marketplaces, social media platforms and more, including the likes of the University of Michigan.

Founded in 2019, the company has grown an impressive list of partnerships. More recently, it entered a strategic partnership with In-Q-Tel, the U.S. intelligence community’s venture capital arm, where TrustLabs technology is being leveraged to look into crucial internet trends and narratives that could impact national security. The work TrustLabs is fronting is most definitely called for in this day and age and it’s exciting to see the number of impactful partnerships taking place the company is taking on.
