We are often asked what is behind the name Double Raven. In Norse mythology, Odin, the god of war, has a pair of ravens named Huginn and Muninn. Odin sends them out the first thing each morning to collect intelligence from around the world and report it back to him before breakfast. We found it fitting to name our company and product after the aility of collecting information from every open source around the world and bring it to our customers to advance their investigaitons, and named our accordingly. The phrase quod ex obumbratio is Latin for "Evidence from the Shadows."

Our History Timeline
2018
Double Raven’s origins started with the noble undertaking of understanding why so many investigations went cold and to determine if something could be done about it. Our intent was not to start a company but to sincerely solve a problem…we had no idea that we would learn just how big of a problem it is. We volunteered our time and started working on cold child sexual exploitation and homicide cases. We examined these cases to not only solve them but also to identify the reasons that slows down or stops investigations in their tracks.2019
DR’s team continued to expand, bringing in trusted professionals with impeccable skills, unrivaled experience and success in solving the unsolvable. Our backgrounds include the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Air Force Office of Special Investigations, United States Secret Service, Defense Intelligence Agency, Department of Defense - Special Forces, State Department, Computational Linguists, Data Scientists, Software Engineers, Cyber Gurus, former CEOs, and Financial Crime Wizards.2020 - 2022
Over time, the more complex issues that we experienced, the more tools that we needed to perform our trade craft. Licensing costs for tools ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and did not fit out volunteer budget. It was shocking to learn that some of these technologies marketing their wares to law enforcement and intelligence agencies, either overpromised or underdelivered when put to the test, so we scratch built our own. Issues like being able to ingest big data consisting of phone records from multiple different providers, financial records from multiple different banks, endless polices, pdfs, power points, video, audio and lots of images into one environment to find evidence and to apply our own methodologies to get answers to our questions.2023 - 2024
We found that we were able to produce results where others were stopped in their tracks and had to start turning cases down. So, we formalized our efforts into Double Raven Solutions, and offer our services to broader clientele. We started to refine our tools and were approached to design a product based on our technology. We are at the point of making our design called Open-Source Data Intelligence Network (ODIN) available for public and private consumption. We are often asked what is behind the name Double Raven. In Norse mythology, Odin, the god of war has a pair of ravens named Huginn and Muninn. They are sent out first thing in the morning each day to collect intelligence around the world and report back to Odin before breakfast. We found it fitting to name our company and product for the information collection we bring you our customers and named our accordingly.
