Recently, a lot of people have asked me why we’ve stayed out of the spotlight.
The most honest answer is simple. We just didn’t have the time.
A three years ago, I sat down with
Amos Lahav and
Rotem Abeles at Cafe Assaf and asked one question: what do we do with all the visual data flowing through the world, and how do we get it quickly to the people who actually need it?
At the time, the war in Ukraine had already turned video into an intelligence arena of its own, and Lion’s Den was using TikTok to push out attacks on a weekly basis. But no one in the system really knew how to leverage these massive volumes of information yet. This was all before the explosion of AI, agents, and all the magic people talk about today.
A few months after we founded the company, on October 7th, our thesis was validated in the most painful way possible.
That morning, we were around eight people in the company, trying to operationalize the system as fast as possible to support intelligence organizations that reached out to us for help. The very next day, we recruited dozens of volunteers from some of the strongest technology units, many of whom later became full-time employees. A month later, we were already in our first operational deployment.
There was no honeymoon phase. We built while running. We built what we believe is the world’s most powerful platform for holistic visual intelligence analysis. One synergistic platform replacing more than a dozen separate tools.
Over the following year, we became finalists in a prestigious U.S. Army competition, completed several funding rounds, and began deploying internationally.
Today, we are proud to announce our latest $31 million funding round led by
PSG Equity, alongside
TLV Partners,
StepStone Group,
Redseed Ventures, and
Eyal Waldman. To date, we have raised approximately $60 million in total.
A huge thank you to everyone who stood beside us along the way.
The investors who believed in us, the customers who trusted us at the earliest stage, the advisors and mentors who supported us, and the friends and families who carried the weight together with us. You are all part of this story.
And to the team at
Airis Labs. This milestone belongs to you 💜
