Odyssey Intelligence
The case doesn’t wait for an analyst. Neither do you.
If it takes a manual and a two-week course, it doesn't help the people doing the work.
Emily MartinFounder & CEO
Started by a sworn officer in Mobile, Alabama.
Odyssey was built for a problem she saw on the job. The information was out there. Nobody had time to pull it together.
Phone numbers, usernames, payment handles, and the same locations turning up again and again are already out there on the open internet. Odyssey pulls them together fast enough to matter, for the officer working a case at 2 a.m. with no analyst to hand it to.

No analyst required. If an officer can run a plate, they can run Odyssey.

Four platforms, one mission
Each platform covers one kind of case. Agencies license the ones they need.
Odyssey Investigate
Trafficking, narcotics and child exploitation cases start online: ads, profiles and phone numbers. Investigate finds them, links them and ranks them by risk, so the strongest leads come first.
- Scans ads, social and open web 24/7
- Links phones, accounts and addresses
- Matches one number across sites
- Flags coded and control language
- Spots victim warning signs
- Pulls vehicles and plates from ads
- Tracks movement city to city
- Plain-English summary and next step
Odyssey Pursuit
Pursuit watches public social media for your wanted subjects and flagged threats, and alerts the officer when something changes.
- Watches public profiles 24/7
- Alerts when a fugitive posts
- Flags threats and warning signs
- Maps known associates
- Shows check-ins and locations
- Plain-English alert and next step
Odyssey Marine
Watch the Gulf. Marine tracks vessels and port activity, checks cargo and vessel history, and flags the ships that go dark or break pattern, for smuggling and trafficking cases that start on the water.
- Vessel tracking from AIS
- Flags vessels that go dark
- Route anomaly alerts
- Port state control checks
- Cargo manifest cross-check
- Past incident history
Odyssey Digital
Follow the money behind cyber-enabled crime: crypto movement, dark web activity and exposed accounts tied to trafficking, fraud and organized crime.
- Crypto tracing
- Mixer detection
- Exchange cash-out flags
- Dark web monitoring

About Odyssey Intelligence
Open-source intelligence built for the agencies that need it most.
Why I built Odyssey
When I was fifteen, I went on a mission trip overseas. I watched kids my age, shackled, being forced into the back of a truck. I couldn't do anything for them. I never forgot it.
Here at home, it doesn't look like that. It hides online, in ads, websites and group chats. But it's the same thing.
Every shift, I showed up to work knowing the information was already out there.
Phone numbers. Usernames. Payment handles. The same locations turning up again and again. Traffickers leave a trail across the open internet, hiding in plain sight.
We just couldn't pull it together fast enough to matter. The tools that could were built for federal agencies with rooms full of analysts. Not for the officer working a case at 2 a.m. with no analyst to hand it to.
That gap stayed with me.
So I did something most software founders don't. I went through the academy first. Full kit, body cam, all of it. Because I wasn't going to build for law enforcement without understanding the work from the inside.
Odyssey is what came out of that. OSINT that an officer or an investigator can actually use, not just a trained analyst. If it takes a manual and a two-week course, it doesn't help the people doing the work. So we built it the other way around. Fast, simple, and put directly in the hands of the people closest to the case.
I'll be straight with you: it isn't finished, and I'm not going to pretend it is. Two agencies already use it every day, and we're building the rest in the open, one agency at a time, starting right here on the Gulf Coast. But every piece of it exists for one reason: to get the right information to the right officer in time to actually do something with it.
That's the whole job. That's why we're here.
Who We Serve
Small and mid-sized police departments and sheriff's offices carrying a full caseload without a dedicated intelligence unit. Most have fewer than 100 officers and no analyst. That's who we build for.Our Approach
We build alongside the officers who use it. Every feature starts with a real case and a real agency, and nothing ships until an investigator can use it without training.Security & Compliance
Built with role-based access, multi-factor login and full audit trails, so investigations stay confidential and defensible. Each agency's searches, cases, notes and evidence are visible only to that agency, and agency data is stored in the U.S. The platforms are not built to hold Criminal Justice Information (CJI). We're working toward full alignment with the FBI CJIS Security Policy and will tell you exactly where we stand.Request a meeting
