“There is a massive opportunity here and we’re excited to partner with Spot AI as they continue unlocking the value of video data.”

“Video is everywhere, and in today’s world, solving problems requires visual context. But as a business owner, you can’t be everywhere at once. So it’s only natural that more organizations today are relying heavily on video intelligence to help drive efficiency and minimize loss,” said Tanuj Thapliyal, Co-Founder & CEO of Spot AI. “This investment allows us to accelerate our expansion and help businesses continue to unlock the value of video data with industry-first AI products.”

Compared to other cameras on the market, Spot AI’s system combines cloud and edge computing to make video footage actionable, so businesses can instantly surface and resolve problems. The company’s Intelligent Video Recorder is powered by new silicon and new AI algorithms that enable powerful, responsive and first-of-its-kind AI applications. Its modern cloud dashboard allows users to easily access, search and consume insights from their video footage – ranging from operational bottlenecks to unsafe behavior. Businesses can choose to use cameras they already have, or get them for free from Spot AI.

“The product usage and engagement Spot AI has seen in its customers over the past year since launch is a testament to the unique software they’ve built and the velocity of their product engine,” said Jeremy Kaufmann, Partner at Scale Venture Partners. “There is a massive opportunity here and we’re excited to partner with Spot AI as they continue unlocking the value of video data.”
