Rolli
Our Mission

About Rolli — the narrative intelligence platform built by journalists. Trusted by 400+ organizations worldwide.

We built Rolli after watching comms and security teams escalate manufactured spikes because nothing in their stack could tell the difference between real anger and a coordinated influence operation. That's the gap we close — real-time narrative intelligence across 8 platforms, starting at $99/mo.

Our Mission

The information ecosystem needs a truth layer

In 2020, a coordinated influence operation spread a false narrative about a major public health announcement. It reached 2.3 million people in 6 hours. Our co-founders, watching in real time, knew there had to be a better way.

“We believe organizations deserve to know what's real before they have to react to what isn't.”

Nick Toso founded Rolli in 2020 after witnessing firsthand how quickly a false narrative could consume an organization's response capacity. A coordinated influence operation — the kind that exploits a real event to amplify a manufactured story — unfolded in real time, and the comms and security teams responsible for responding had no way to tell the authentic signal from the engineered noise. Every spike got escalated. Every alert cost hours. Researchers had no reproducible methodology for distinguishing organic public discourse from manufactured consensus. The data existed. The infrastructure to make it actionable didn't.

Rolli's answer is the Rolli IQ™ platform — real-time narrative intelligence and influence operation detection built by journalists who lived the problem, engineered for the communications teams, security analysts, and research professionals who need to solve it. We built the authenticity scoring layer, the cross-platform correlation engine, and the briefing infrastructure that gives teams verified signal instead of more noise.

Founders

The founders

Built by journalists who covered coordinated disinformation firsthand — and decided to build the tool they wished had existed.

Nick Toso

Founder

Former CNN en Español Washington DC Bureau Chief and Senior Producer. After years watching coordinated disinformation operate in plain sight — and watching the comms and security teams responsible for responding to it fly completely blind — Nick built the platform he wished had existed: one that scores the signal before you escalate it.

Catalina Villegas

Co-Founder

Anchor for Spectrum News 1 LA. Former CNN, CBS, NBC, and Univision. Board of Directors, LA Press Club. As a working broadcast journalist, Catalina has spent her career on the front lines of breaking news — and has watched how social narratives arrive faster than they can be verified. That experience shapes Rolli's product philosophy: give teams the truth before they have to act.

WHY WE EXIST

Better signal. Faster decisions. Fewer false alarms.

We built Rolli for the three teams who bear the cost of manufactured noise.

Typical detection advantage

Comms teams act on verified signal.

When a narrative spikes, Rolli IQ tells your team within minutes whether it's organic anger or a coordinated campaign. You act with confidence on verified signal — not a screenshot deck and a guess. That's the difference between $99/mo and the $800+/mo tool that still can't answer the question that actually matters.

Security teams see coordination before it scales.

Cross-platform coordination patterns surface hours before a campaign reaches mainstream media. Rolli gives Trust & Safety and security communications teams structured, evidence-grade signal — so the escalation to the CISO is defensible, not just anxious.

Researchers separate signal from manufactured consensus.

Authenticity metadata, platform coverage flags, and reproducible exports give research teams the infrastructure to distinguish organic public discourse from coordinated inauthentic behavior — with methodology that survives peer review.

PARTNERS & GRANTS

Backed by institutions where truth is the whole job

Rolli's partners are institutions whose entire mission depends on being able to tell authentic information from manufactured noise. That professional stake shapes how we build, what we measure, and what we hold ourselves accountable to.
