Summary

  • Hakimo, an AI start-up that develops autonomous security monitoring platforms, has raised $10.5m in series A funding to expand its business.
  • Its flagship AI Operator offers real-time threat detection and response protocols, and can be linked to existing security cameras and hardware, eliminating the need for human intervention.
  • The company plans to target property management, car dealerships, construction sites and campuses as it seeks to become the “universal platform for intelligent video monitoring”.
  • Hakimo’s growth comes as physical security faces challenges such as police departments declining to attend unverified alarms and rising costs of manned guarding.
  • The start-up’s technology prevented thousands of incidents and assisted law enforcement in multiple arrests last year.
