The fund builds on the success of the $18 million Eagle Freedom Fund I, which has invested in 20 high-growth companies delivering measurable impact across healthcare, law enforcement, technology, and frontline response, the firm said.
The fund is said to be "the first investment fund in the world" dedicated to investing in tech innovation to fight human trafficking. "It’s an honor to partner with so many amazing leaders in our mission to protect the most vulnerable," said former NFL QB Tim Tebow, a general partner in the fund.
Spearheaded by the North Texas Innovation Alliance, initial planning for the 2026 event foresees lasting regional benefits ranging from public safety and energy efficiency to traffic management.
SMU's new federally funded data warehouse will feature a unique component—a video game called "Dark Shadows"—to help researchers extract and “clean” relevant human trafficking information from the U.S. Department of Justice’s press releases, such as victims' and perpetrators' names and crime locations.
Mahugh lives by DeliverFund’s unofficial motto: “Our business is crushing evil … and business is good!” The Dallas-based nonprofit, which is run by a distributed team of former CIA, Special Ops, and law enforcement personnel, uses open-source intelligence and proprietary software to analyze the activity of human traffickers in the U.S. and help law enforcement take them down.
