Fact check: What is factually.co and who owns it?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, no direct information about factually.co or its ownership was found in the sources examined. The search results appear to have captured information about related but distinct entities:

• Factal (not factually.co) is a company founded by the creators of Breaking News, including Cory Bergman, Charlie Tillinghast, and Ben Tesch, and is based in Seattle and London ^[1]. Factal focuses on providing real-time fact-checking and verification of global incidents for companies, with an emphasis on protecting people and assets ^[1].
• Several sources discussed co-ownership of properties and business partnerships, but provided no relevant information about factually.co ^{[2] [3] [4]}.
• One source mentioned "Factually: News" as a publication or report about combating misinformation, but did not provide ownership details about factually.co specifically ^[5].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The analyses reveal significant gaps in available information about factually.co:

• No ownership structure or corporate details were found for factually.co specifically
• No founding information or leadership details were discovered
• No business model or operational details were provided about factually.co's activities

The search results suggest there may be confusion between similar-sounding entities in the fact-checking and verification space. The broader context shows that fact-checking organizations are currently facing uncertainty due to Meta's decision to end its fact-checking program, with many organizations having to diversify revenue streams and potentially reduce staff ^[6].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself does not contain misinformation or bias - it is a straightforward inquiry about factually.co and its ownership. However, the lack of readily available information about this entity raises questions about:

• Whether factually.co is a legitimate, established organization or a lesser-known entity
• The possibility of name confusion with other fact-checking organizations like Factal
• Whether the entity exists in a publicly verifiable form with transparent ownership information

The absence of clear information in multiple searches suggests that factually.co may not be a prominent or well-documented organization in the fact-checking space, unlike established entities such as Factal which have clear founding stories and leadership information ^[1].
