Hakimo, a Menlo Park, CA-based AI-powered physical security monitoring company, raised $10.5M in funding.
The round was led by Vertex Ventures and Zigg Capital with participation from RXR Arden Digital Ventures and existing investors Defy.vc and Gokul Rajaram.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its development efforts.
Founded in early 2020 by Sam Joseph and Sagar Honnungar, Stanford-trained AI experts with backgrounds in building enterprise-grade software as a service (SaaS), Hakimo provides AI Operator, which combines computer vision and generative AI to monitor existing security hardware such as cameras and badge readers. Beyond detection, the system issues real-time speaker warnings and executes standard operating procedures (SOPs) to respond to incidents, with human operators providing intervention only when necessary.
The company raised a total of $20.5M, including prior funding rounds led by Neotribe Ventures and Rocketship.vc.
