What Ground Truth Intelligence does

Ground Truth Intelligence (GTI) is a London-based, AI-native due diligence platform provider founded in 2020. The company combines automated screening with a network of 2,500+ vetted in-country experts across 200+ jurisdictions to deliver third-party risk intelligence to enterprise compliance teams. Its core products are organized around GTI Hub, a connected environment that unifies automated screening, human-driven enhanced due diligence, an Escalations module for layered deep-dive investigations, and a Program Design Tool for calibrating diligence frameworks to customer risk profiles and regulatory obligations. Underlying capabilities include NLP across multiple languages and jurisdictions, knowledge retrieval across billions of curated data points (sanctions, watchlists, in-country records, paywalled media), anomaly/noise suppression, predictive analytics for diligence depth calibration, and agentic triage automation.

GTI's business model operates on a modular, quote-based subscription for the GTI Hub platform combined with professional-services revenue from expert-written enhanced due diligence and human intelligence reports. GTM combines enterprise field sales targeted at compliance leaders, heads of due diligence, and risk directors with a product-led growth motion for high-volume batch screening, plus API integration into existing compliance stacks. A significant distribution arrangement embeds GTI capabilities inside EQS Group's Compliance Cockpit platform via a partnership announced in February 2026. Customers include large enterprise accounts (a Fortune 500 technology company, a global insurance firm, a global financial institution) alongside logos in media, legal, beverage, energy, philanthropy, and technology verticals.

Leadership is anchored by founder/CEO Stewart Kelly (formerly Managing Director at intelligence consultancies G3 and Veracity) and co-founder/COO Matthew Hunt (with prior roles at The Risk Advisory Group, Livingstone, Veracity, and FTI), supported by Director-level heads of Engineering, Product, Client Success, Intelligence Network, and Commercial/Project Operations. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding rounds or parent company structure; funding rounds are listed with undisclosed amounts, and Concept Ventures appears in the 2021 investor record.
