Multitude Insights

Multitude Insights operates in the government technology sector, providing a specialized intelligence-sharing platform for public safety and law enforcement agencies. The company was established in 2022 by Co-founders Matthew White (CEO) and Akihiko Izu (COO), who bring a combination of military, legal, and entrepreneurial experience to address information silos in policing. White is a former Naval Flight Officer with a background in combat reconnaissance and intelligence missions, holding advanced degrees from MIT and the Harvard Kennedy School. Izu is an experienced M&A attorney with expertise in operations and security. Their firsthand observations of fragmented data and inefficient communication in law enforcement inspired the company's creation.

The firm's core product is BLTN, a CJIS-compliant, cloud-based platform designed to modernize how law enforcement agencies create, manage, and share intelligence bulletins. Serving clients that include major metropolitan departments like the Boston Police Department and the Oklahoma City Police Department, Multitude Insights targets a market historically reliant on outdated methods such as emails and PDFs for disseminating critical information. The business generates revenue through its software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, offering agencies a subscription to the BLTN network. The platform enables users to quickly create notices for BOLOs (Be on the Lookout), missing persons, and other alerts, which are then algorithmically distributed to relevant officers and agencies, reducing information overload. A key feature, SmartLink, uses AI to analyze crime bulletins and incident reports in real-time, automatically identifying connections, patterns, and trends across different jurisdictions that might otherwise be missed. This functionality helps link cases, such as identifying a shared suspect or vehicle in incidents reported by separate departments.

The platform is designed to be mobile-enabled and searchable, transforming previously unstructured data into an actionable intelligence database. By streamlining these workflows, BLTN aims to reduce administrative tasks, increase intelligence open rates, and allow officers to focus more on fieldwork and case resolution. The company has successfully raised $5.4 million in funding from investors including Alumni Ventures, NEC X, and Commonweal Ventures to support its nationwide expansion.
