Siren

What Siren does

Siren, legally Sindice Ltd. and headquartered in Galway, Ireland, provides an Investigative Intelligence Platform built on Elasticsearch that enables investigators in national security, law enforcement, fraud and compliance, and cyber threat functions to search, correlate, and visualize connections across disparate data sources without requiring ETL. The platform is anchored by Siren Investigate™, a search and graph analytics interface, and Siren Federate™, an Elasticsearch plugin that adds proprietary relational join and federated query capabilities across SQL (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL), Impala, Spark SQL, Presto, and Dremio data sources. A patented Aggregate Relations technology underpins distributed cross-index joins with near-linear scalability and approximately 90% hardware efficiency. The third product, K9 AI Companion, launched in September 2025, layers conversational graph analysis, automated investigative workflows, and explainable AI onto the platform.

Siren operates a subscription-based enterprise licensing model with quote-based pricing, annual billing cadence, and a vetted trial access process for qualified organizations. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with strategic channel partnerships: a decade-long co-distribution relationship with Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), a CarahSoft reseller arrangement for US government procurement, and integrations with 15+ third-party data providers including Moody's, Chainalysis, Dow Jones, LexisNexis, ESRI, DarkOwl, SpyCloud, and Shadow Dragon. Customers include national security and law enforcement agencies globally, a Top 20 European bank, a major Western national cyber monitoring service, and enterprises such as Apollo.io (B2B sales intelligence) and life sciences organizations. The company maintains offices in Ireland, the United States, New Zealand, Italy, and France.

Siren was founded in 2011 by semantic technology researchers Dr. Giovanni Tummarello and Dr. Renaud Delbru from Ireland's DERI institute in partnership with MIT, originally as Siren Solutions before rebranding to Siren in 2017. The company has raised disclosed funding across multiple rounds from Atlantic Bridge, Frontline Ventures, Enterprise Ireland, DVI Equity Partners, Growing Capital, and the European Investment Bank (€12M in February 2023), with a strategic investment from Elastic announced December 2025. The firm employs 51-100 staff and is led by CEO John Randles with CMO Rachel Kavanagh appointed to drive expansion.
