Airis Labs Raises $60M to Transform Visual Intelligence
Airis Labs, an AI startup founded by defense veterans, has raised $60 million in total funding, including a $31 million Series B round led by PSG Equity, to scale its visual intelligence platform for global defense and national security markets. The platform processes fragmented video feeds from drones, body cams, and social media to accelerate battlefield data analysis by up to 150 times, with deployments already underway in federal defense programs like the US Army’s innovation accelerator.
Airis Labs, an artificial intelligence startup specializing in visual data interpretation, has secured $60 million in total funding, including a $31 million Series B round led by PSG Equity. The round also involved TLV Partners, Stepstone Group, Redseed Ventures, and angel investors like Eyal Waldman. The funding will expand Airis’s presence in global defense and national security markets, where its platform addresses intelligence bottlenecks caused by unstructured battlefield data. Founded in April 2023 by defense veterans Noam Friedman, Amos Lahav, and Rotem Abeles, Airis was created to solve the challenge of processing thousands of hours of disconnected video recordings from drones, body cams, CCTV, and social media. The company’s multimodal AI engine synchronizes fragmented feeds into a single, machine-readable intelligence picture, enabling real-time natural language queries for analysts and AI agents. This eliminates the need for manual review of terabytes of raw video data, reportedly speeding up analysis by a factor of 150. Unlike typical AI solutions developed in isolation, Airis’s technology was tested in real-world operations within months of its founding. The startup refined its neural networks using low-resolution footage from global conflict zones, sourced from mass media after international crises. This rapid field validation translated into quick commercial adoption, with the platform now deployed by federal governments, intelligence agencies, and customs operations worldwide under a subscription model. Airis has joined Oracle’s Defense Ecosystem and is participating in the US Army’s acceleration program for commercial defense innovations. The startup’s enterprise cybersecurity solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing defense infrastructure, providing a unified dashboard for functions previously handled by multiple specialized tools. The company’s approach combines proprietary multimodal models with real-world operational data, ensuring its AI remains relevant to dynamic battlefield environments. By automating video analysis, Airis aims to reduce the cognitive burden on intelligence personnel while enhancing decision-making speed for defense and security operations.
