Airis Labs, has emerged from stealth with $60 million in total funding, including a $31 million Series B led by PSG Equity, to further develop its AI-driven platform that turns fragmented video and images into usable field intelligence for government and defense.
According to the company, existing investors TLV Partners, Stepstone Group and Redseed Ventures also participated, alongside angel investors Eyal Waldman, Jeff Horing, Yasmin Lukatz and David Chinn. The company said the funding will support expansion of its U.S. operations, hiring and continued development of its software.
What Does Airis Labs Do?
Powered by AI, the platform ingests video and imagery from sources including smartphones, social media, security cameras, body cameras, drones and digital forensics systems, then analyzes and organizes that information so analysts and operators can search, interpret and act on visual data more efficiently.
Government organizations increasingly rely on visual information collected from a growing number of sources, but much of that data remains unstructured and difficult to analyze at scale, according to the company. The Airis platform is intended to transform those fragmented data streams into a unified intelligence layer that can be used by both human analysts and AI agents.
“Government teams do not have a shortage of raw visual data. They have a shortage of machine-readable understanding,” co-founder and CEO Noam Friedman noted. “The next generation of AI used by government agencies needs to understand the physical world: what happened, where it happened, what changed, what matters, and what requires human judgment. Airis gives analysts and operators the clarity to act faster and with greater confidence.”
The company describes the approach as “User-Generated Field Intelligence,” what it says is a new category focused on extracting operational insight from real-world imagery and video rather than relying on traditional video analytics or open-source intelligence systems.
Airis said the platform was developed and deployed in operational environments shortly after the company’s founding, allowing it to refine the technology under real-world conditions involving large volumes of video and imagery. It now serves government organizations worldwide and has also been selected to participate in the Oracle Defense Ecosystem.
Founded in 2023 and headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area along with operations in Tel Aviv, Airis Labs employs approximately 45 people and was founded by a team with backgrounds spanning national security, intelligence and enterprise technology.
