Brinker, an innovative narrative intelligence platform dedicated to combating disinformation and influence campaigns, has been recognized as one of the “10 Most Promising Defense Tech Startups of 2025” by Défense Israel and Robel Innovations. This distinction underscores Brinker’s groundbreaking approach to safeguarding governments, enterprises, and NGOs from increasingly sophisticated narrative-based threats.
Brinker’s proprietary technology identifies malicious narratives across platforms, languages, and geographies, performing automated OSINT investigations and providing real-time mitigation options at the press of a button—dramatically reducing the entire response process from weeks to minutes.
In October 2024, Brinker was selected to join the prestigious Innofense program for dual-use startups, run by SOSA and MAF’AT (DDR&D), designed to strengthen collaboration between civilian and defense markets through joint technological innovation.

Disinformation, identified by the World Economic Forum as the number one global risk, poses significant threats to social cohesion, democratic institutions, and economic stability. Brinker’s solutions not only protect organizations but also empower societies to effectively defend themselves from harmful domestic and foreign influence campaigns, positively impacting communities worldwide.
Brinker was founded by Benny Schnaider, Daniel Ravner, and Oded Breiner, who realized that starting a company built fundamentally on AI, rather than merely adding AI as a feature, would level the playing field in the asymmetric war against disinformation—transforming it into a symmetrical one.
“This recognition affirms our vision to reshape the OSINT landscape through battle-proven narrative intelligence technology,” said Daniel Ravner, CEO and Co-founder of Brinker.
Brinker’s CTO and Co-founder Oded Breiner added, “Our patented LLM-driven analysis allows us to reveal and neutralize threats that traditional metadata-driven tools often miss.”
Brinker’s comprehensive suite includes automated legal escalations, platform takedowns, and behavioral economics-based counter-narratives, ensuring not just threat removal but active influence mitigation.
