Solink has raised more than $100 million in new funding to expand its AI Vision Intelligence platform and accelerate growth across physical business operations. The financing was led by Vertu Capital, with material participation from existing investor Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. New investors Golub Growth and Comcast Ventures also participated.
Solink plans to use the funding to accelerate its AI product roadmap, pursue strategic growth opportunities, and expand adoption of its platform across global markets.
The company’s technology turns existing business camera infrastructure into a source of real-time operational intelligence. Solink analyzes video from physical locations and converts it into actionable data intended to help businesses reduce losses, improve safety, increase revenue, and understand operational performance.
More than 35,000 customer locations across 65 countries currently use the platform.
Solink serves businesses across retail, restaurants, warehouses, and other physical environments, with its AI Vision Intelligence platform designed to surface significant operational events without requiring teams to manually monitor video.
The company said its approach allows customers to extract additional value from cameras that are already deployed at their locations rather than requiring entirely new infrastructure.
Solink currently manages more than 500,000 cameras and is positioning AI Vision Intelligence as an emerging software category for businesses operating physical locations.
The company plans to expand the platform’s capabilities across areas such as readiness, merchandising, safety, loss prevention, operations, and revenue optimization.
The new financing follows continued customer expansion and growing demand for AI systems capable of bringing the type of real-time data analysis commonly associated with digital businesses into stores, restaurants, warehouses, and other physical operations.
Solink is headquartered in Ottawa and has been building its platform around the idea that video data can serve as an enterprise intelligence layer rather than functioning solely as a security tool.
The funding is expected to support further product development as Solink expands internationally and evaluates additional strategic opportunities.
