Fact check: Who are the founders and investors behind Factually.news platform?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the provided analyses, there appears to be confusion between two different platforms. The question asks about "Factually.news," but the available information primarily concerns Factal, a different fact-checking organization ^[1].

Factal's leadership and funding structure includes:

• Founders: Charlie Tillinghast, Ben Tesch, and Cory Bergman ^[1]
• Investors: SeaChange Fund, Grubstakes, Frontier Angels, Sierra Angels, OF Partners, and Dave Smith ^[1]
• Lead investor: Arthur Ventures, which led the 2021 A-Round funding ^[1]

The analyses do not contain any specific information about the founders or investors of the "Factually.news" platform specifically ^{[2] [3]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks crucial context about which specific fact-checking platform is being referenced. The analyses reveal that there are multiple fact-checking and media organizations operating in this space, including:

• Reid Hoffman, a billionaire who has invested in various media companies and backed Good Information Inc., a public benefit corporation aimed at combating disinformation ^[3]
• George Soros, who also backs media firms focused on disinformation combat ^[3]

Powerful investors and tech entrepreneurs like Hoffman would benefit from supporting fact-checking platforms as they can influence public discourse and information flow, potentially shaping narratives that align with their business or political interests ^[3].

The funding landscape for fact-checking organizations involves various venture capital firms, angel investors, and wealthy individuals who may have different motivations for supporting information verification services.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains a fundamental ambiguity by not clearly specifying which platform is being referenced. This could lead to:

• Conflation of different organizations: The question about "Factually.news" may be confused with information about Factal or other fact-checking platforms
• Incomplete research: The lack of specific information about Factually.news in the analyses suggests either the platform doesn't exist, has limited public information, or the question contains an error in the platform name

The absence of direct information about Factually.news founders and investors in any of the provided sources ^{[2] [1] [3]} suggests that either this specific platform is not well-documented or the question may be based on incorrect information about the platform's name or existence.
