375ai, a pioneering edge data intelligence company that converts physical world data into machine-readable insights, has raised an additional $5 million in funding. This recent investment aims to expand its edge data intelligence network, furthering its mission to deliver real-time insights to AI models, cities, enterprises, and governments. The funding round was led by Delphi Ventures, Strobe Capital, and HackVC. With this new round of funding, the total amount raised by the company now stands at $10 million, which also includes initial investments from 6MV, ARCA, Primal, and EV3.
As cities generate vast quantities of data, much of it remains untapped and invisible. Traditional systems in traffic management, advertising, and government often rely on outdated infrastructure and fragmented data sources. These methods present challenges in understanding the movement of people and goods through urban areas.
Centralized data pipelines can be prohibitively expensive and slow, often providing insights that are incomplete or delayed. For AI systems to be effective, they require real-world context rather than relying solely on synthetic inputs. Without structured, real-time data, these systems cannot effectively enhance solutions in mobility, logistics, and safety.
To address these issues, 375ai is building an edge data intelligence network based on the Solana blockchain. The centerpiece of this initiative is the 375edge device, which is equipped with high-definition cameras, audio, and environmental sensors, and on-device computing powered by NVIDIA Jetson and DeepStream.
Unlike traditional systems that transmit massive streams of raw data, these devices process information locally, condensing 1TB of raw inputs into a mere 35 MB of actionable insights each day. This represents an incredible 26,000-fold reduction in data volume. By moving computation closer to the source, 375ai effectively reduces bandwidth costs, enhances privacy, and provides real-time intelligence while prioritizing data security.
Through a partnership with Outfront Media, 375ai has already made significant strides in monitoring urban traffic. The company currently tracks 1.5 million vehicles daily across its network of deployments. This capability offers businesses, local agencies, and logistics operators unprecedented visibility into movement and behavior patterns that were previously difficult, if not impossible, to analyze.
Beyond its current operations in Los Angeles, 375ai is actively expanding its footprint into the New York and Miami metropolitan areas, with plans for international expansion slated for 2026. The newly acquired capital will enable the company to accelerate its deployment efforts, achieve denser coverage in existing markets, and continue the development of its innovative products.
Led by a highly experienced executive team, 375ai brings together decades of expertise across various fields, including networking, cybersecurity, telecommunications, digital media, and data analytics. CEO Harry Dewhirst heads the company, supported by COO Rob Atherton, CBO Trevor Branon, and Chief AI Officer Chad Partridge.
