    Bolster builds AI/ML technology to protect regular citizens from bad actors on the internet. Your favorite brands from technology to eCommerce use our software to detect and takedown threats that might attack their customers, employees, or partners.

    An alarming number of vulnerable people get exploited every day and lose their life savings to malicious actors online. Not only is this an attack on their safety and security, but it creates a sense of helplessness. At Bolster, we protect vulnerable people from malicious actors on the Internet. We understand that even the most powerful companies struggle to stop bad actors, so we’ll continue to strive for excellence and create solutions that protect individuals from cybercrime. Together, we will make the Internet a safer place for everyone.

    We’re passionate about reaching higher levels of success. We strive for excellence and support one another to ensure that our mission is accomplished. We are a team that pushes hard to make a real difference, and when the going gets tough, we rely on one another’s resilience and support to move forward. We’re in this together and know that the work we do has a meaningful impact on the world. We also recognize the importance of having fun along the way; celebrating big and small successes is part of our culture. We strive to be a group that is focused on working hard, but also playing hard and supporting each other in everything we do.

    Online fraud prevention has centered around community-powered blacklists for years. For a site to get on the list, a human had to look at it. As the internet and the scam sites on it continue to grow, we don’t think that human intervention is scalable.

    We built a suite of computer vision, natural language processing, and deep learning models to mimic how a person looks at and categorizes a page. With 100ms verdicts and 1/100,000 false positives, our AI is faster and more accurate than a human.

    With a focus on intelligent infrastructure, scalable deep learning, and elegant design, we constantly innovate our technology – making it more accessible for engineers, easier to use for operations teams, and more extensible for the future of online fraud.
