Airis Labs announced its emergence from stealth with $60 million in total funding, including a $31 million Series B round led by PSG Equity. Existing investors TLV Partners, Stepstone Group, Redseed Ventures, and angel investors Eyal Waldman, Jeff Horing, Yasmin Lukatz, and David Chinn also participated in the financing.
Founded in 2023, Airis Labs develops AI-powered visual intelligence technology designed to transform fragmented video and imagery into structured, machine-readable intelligence for government missions. The company said the new funding will support the expansion of its U.S. operations, accelerate product development, and grow its workforce.
Headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area with operations in Tel Aviv, Airis Labs has built what it describes as a new category called User-Generated Field Intelligence. Its platform ingests video and imagery from a variety of sources—including smartphones, social media, digital forensics, security cameras, body cameras, drones, and customer repositories—and converts that information into actionable intelligence that analysts and AI agents can search, reason over, and act upon in real time.
According to the company, governments are increasingly overwhelmed by massive volumes of unstructured visual data that are difficult for machines to interpret and impossible for human teams to review at scale. Airis Labs aims to address that challenge by providing a unified intelligence platform capable of identifying critical signals and enabling analysts to focus on higher-level decision-making.
The company said its technology was developed under real-world operational conditions rather than laboratory environments and was deployed with government organizations shortly after its founding. Airis Labs noted that the platform has since been validated through active use by analysts and operators and has been selected to participate in the Oracle Defense Ecosystem.
Airis Labs currently employs approximately 45 people and was founded by national security veterans and enterprise technology leaders with backgrounds spanning senior intelligence roles, forward deployments at Palantir, and government sales organizations. The company serves government customers worldwide and believes the next generation of AI systems must be capable of understanding physical-world events to support mission-critical decision-making.
KEY QUOTES:
“Government teams do not have a shortage of raw visual data. They have a shortage of machine-readable understanding. 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.”
Noam Friedman, co-founder and CEO of Airis Labs
“We saw a clear need across intelligence organizations to unify fragmented visual data at scale and turn it into actionable insight. Airis Labs is addressing this by transforming large volumes of video and imagery into structured, usable intelligence. We believe this reflects where AI is increasingly delivering value, enabling faster, more informed decisions in high-stakes environments. We are excited to partner with this exceptional team as they scale.”
Rotem Shacham, Director at PSG Equity
“Airis has moved with unusual speed from founding to real-world deployment. The team built under pressure, in operational environments where visual intelligence mattered immediately, and turned that urgency into a platform government customers can rely on.”
Rona Segev, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at TLV Partners
“Airis Labs is the rare company that was born from a deep understanding of the problem space. The founders understand the mission because they’ve lived it. That’s not something you can replicate, and it’s why I’m proud to back them.”
Eyal Waldman, board member of Airis Labs and former founder and CEO of Mellanox Technologies
