Airis Labs Emerges from Stealth with $60M

Another day, another pile of cash being poured into defense and security AI. This morning, US-Israeli AI startup Airis Labs emerged from stealth with $60M in funding and a mission to take all of the video out there and turn it into actionable intelligence. A big chunk of that cash comes from a $31M Series B led by PSG Equity with participation from previous investors, including TLV Partners, Stepstone Group, Redseed Ventures, and angel investors Eyal Waldman, Jeff Horing, Yasmin Lukatz, and David Chinn. The company says it will use the funding to “scale U.S. operations, expand the team, and accelerate product development.” All eyes on me: Now, in case you haven’t looked at your phone lately, there is video of everything, everywhere, all the time. And while that video—everything from drone feeds, to body cam footage, to stuff captured on phones—can tell you a lot about what’s going on in the world, it can also be pretty tricky to sift through. That’s the problem that Airis Labs was founded to solve. On this season of the Real World: And unlike a lot of companies just emerging from stealth, Friedman and his team say the platform is already being used in the field with “government customers across the U.S., Israel, and other allied markets,” though they couldn’t name specific users. However, they did say that “within months of its founding, the platform was operational under real-world conditions, fragmented video feeds, massive data volumes, and high-stakes outcomes,” in a statement. Big ups: From here, put simply, they plan to further refine their platform and expand “significantly,” especially in the US, and especially in terms of “R&D, customer deployment, and field-facing roles,” per Friedman.
