Kerv.ai announced it has closed its Series B funding round, led by Coral Tree Partners, marking a significant step toward scaling its AI-driven contextual commerce and video intelligence solutions. The funding follows a period of substantial commercial momentum, during which the company experienced strong adoption of its interactive and shoppable video technologies across the advertising and media ecosystem.
The Austin-based company has emerged as a leading provider of AI-powered video analysis and monetization tools that transform standard video into interactive, data-rich, commerce-ready content for brands, agencies, and publishers. By leveraging its proprietary object-level metadata and patented pixel-edge technology, Kerv.ai enables more relevant advertising experiences, first-party data insights, and measurable performance outcomes across online video and connected TV environments.
With the newly secured financing, Kerv.ai plans to deepen its investment in research, technology development, infrastructure, and talent while expanding into new markets and forming additional global partnerships. The company aims to advance its contextual intelligence and commerce-driven video capabilities as demand rises for ad-supported and interactive formats within the broader CTV landscape.
Kerv.ai’s financial execution, differentiated technology platform, and customer-centric performance model have strengthened investor confidence in its ability to continue delivering high-value outcomes across the video ecosystem.
The company received advisory support from Chris Smajdor at Needham & Company and Justin Pollak at Davis + Gilbert. James Beach advised Coral Tree Partners at Morrison Foerster.
