The company processes information in 150 languages and serves more than 800 customers, including one-third of the Fortune 50 companies and 1,500 newsrooms.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dataminr\u2019s customer base includes more than 100 U.S. government agencies and 20 international governments.
