Lumana, a leader in AI-based video security solutions, has raised $40 million in a Series A funding round led by Wing Venture Capital, bringing its total funding to $64 million. This funding will enhance its video intelligence platform and accelerate market initiatives.
Lumana’s platform utilizes Vision Language Models (VLMs) and agentic AI to transform any camera into a real-time monitoring system, providing proactive insights from video feeds. This technology enables organizations to maximize the value of their existing infrastructure, particularly in the face of staffing shortages and safety concerns.
The platform analyzes over a billion images daily for behavior-based event detection, offers centralized management for thousands of cameras, and provides intelligent alerts tailored to specific actions and objects. Recent upgrades include AI agents for security tasks, advanced incident alerts, customizable dashboards, and investigative tools with over 100 search attributes.
Since its launch in April 2024, Lumana has gained traction in retail, healthcare, and manufacturing, serving clients such as McDonald’s, Meta, the Minnesota Twins Baseball Club, and New York University.
KEY QUOTES:
“Lumana isn’t just another video security company. We are infusing AI into video in a way that not only transforms how organizations manage physical security, but also enhances safety and operational efficiency – all from a single platform. We’re building the infrastructure for cameras to perceive, understand context and take action in real-time – from detecting and responding to threats to uncovering safety and operational issues. This investment is a milestone in our mission, enabling us to accelerate growth to meet demand and provide our wide array of customers with physical world AI capabilities that are unmatched in the market today.”
Sagi Ben Moshe, Lumana’s CEO and founder
“Lumana is at the forefront of the AI video movement, enabling cameras to truly perceive the physical environment and deliver actionable insights in real-time. The company’s powerful platform converts ordinary video security infrastructure into a proactive, continually learning solution that enables users to scale security, safety and operational decision-making with a level of intelligence we’ve never seen in the industry before. I’m excited to work with Sagi and the team as they shape the future of video security and redefine how people and machines collaborate at scale.”
Peter Wagner, founding partner at Wing Venture Capital, who will join Lumana’s Board of Directors
“Our video investigation capabilities have advanced substantially, allowing us to reduce shrinkage and respond quickly to incidents. In one case, we quickly identified a recurring theft issue, shared the evidence with law enforcement and set up alerts to notify us if the individual returned to any of our locations. This combination of speed, accuracy and proactive monitoring has greatly enhanced our ability to prevent losses and strengthen store security.”
Gautam Bhayana, director of Process Improvement, Extech Building Materials, a building materials supplier with locations across New York and New Jersey
“Lumana has given us a powerful, end-to-end solution that makes it incredibly easy to keep our campus community safe. It’s reassuring to know we have an intelligent system continuously watching over our students, faculty and staff, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
Matthew Bunning, safety and security specialist, Gateway Community & Technical College in Kentucky
“Managing video security across our stores used to be complicated and fragmented. With over 200 cameras from different manufacturers, having one centralized system has delivered visibility and insights we never had before. With Lumana, we can now track customer traffic and dwell time, optimize staffing and service, while also securing our cash rooms by detecting when safes or sensitive doors are accessed. It’s reduced our investigation time from hours to seconds, improved our operational decision-making, and given us the peace of mind that we’re protecting both our customers and our business.”
