  "summary": "Former British Army intelligence operator Michael McCabe has founded Crowd Threat, a platform that utilizes crowdsourcing to identify security risks in countries worldwide. The platform currently has over 200 contributors from 17 countries across six continents and aims to expand its coverage, particularly in Africa, South America, and Asia. With £1 million in funding, McCabe plans to create seven new jobs and develop a second product to identify community tensions and provide early warnings of riots and outbreaks of violence. Crowd Threat offers an alternative to traditional intelligence models by relying on a network of local contributors who report incidents in their respective countries, reducing costs and enabling earlier detection of emerging risks.",
