What Base Operations does

Base Operations is a B2B SaaS company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., that provides hyperlocal, street-level threat intelligence for corporate security teams. The platform aggregates 250M+ mapped incidents from 25,000+ global sources — including local police departments, national law enforcement agencies, 911 call data, government feeds, university police, news media, NGOs, social channels, and open datasets — and delivers sub-mile granularity analysis across 5,000+ cities worldwide using the H3 grid cell system. The company targets Chief Security Officers, VP Security, Global Security Directors, and Security Analysts at mid-market and enterprise organizations with 1,000+ employees, $1B+ revenue, and 50+ location footprints.

The product architecture consists of the Base Operations Platform as the core SaaS solution, with four integrated modules: BaseScore (a 0-100 risk scoring system normalized for population density, weighted by crime severity, and updated monthly), BaseFusion (data integration that ingests client internal incident data sets to unify first-party and third-party risk views), BaseEngine (proprietary AI-powered threat modeling for noise reduction, sparse-data handling, and predictive forecasting), and a REST API for embedding intelligence into GSOC platforms, PSIM systems, and BI tools such as Tableau and Power BI. Base CoPilot is an AI assistant that generates threat assessments for any address in 90 seconds. The platform is SOC 2 Type II compliant.

Base Operations operates a sales-led enterprise GTM motion with annual subscription contracts. Pricing is structured into three tiers (Analyst up to 4 seats, Enterprise 5-50 seats, and Sentinel 50-250+ seats), with all tiers including BaseScore in 5,000+ cities, unlimited location searches, and dedicated customer success. Named enterprise customers include Expedia, Moderna, a financial institution with $5T AUM, a global 3PL with 110,000 employees and 1,500+ facilities across 170 countries, a pharmacy retailer with 255,000 employees and 9,000+ locations, a discount retailer with 16,000+ locations, and the U.S. Air Force and Space Force (via SBIR award). The company has raised approximately $15.4M total, with a $9.1M Series A in December 2023 led by Grotech Ventures and Spero Ventures.
