Founded in 2014, SAIG was formed by Dr. Michael Toney, who has supported global defense organizations for more than 25 years. The purpose of SAIG is to provide a deep understanding of the social behaviors of organizations and loosely formed groups, particularly those engaged in violence. It is through this understanding that SAIG aims to design early-warning systems and forecasting tools that inform governments and emergency services about the imminence of violent activity. Today, the company is seeking investors in order to accelerate and grow the company as the sole provider of sentiment analysis related to civil unrest and violence.
