Hakimo, a security platform that uses computer vision, has raised $12 million in a growth funding round led by its existing investor Zigg Capital. Other investors in the round include Neotribe Ventures, Vertex Ventures, Defy.vc, and Rocketship.vc. With this new funding, the company has now raised a total of $32 million.
The company will use the new funding to speed up its product pipeline, enter new regional markets, and grow its engineering and operations teams. Beyond security, it also plans to expand its platform into areas like regulatory compliance, workplace safety, and customer experience workflows.
Why Physical AI
The technology works alongside existing closed-circuit television (CCTV) infrastructure. By applying vision algorithms to traditional video streams, the platform detects anomalies, automates property monitoring, and offers real-time intervention capabilities to corporate command centers. The technology addresses an acute operational pain point in commercial real estate: the financial overhead and human error associated with monitoring large numbers of video feeds.
Internal performance metrics indicate that the firm tripled its top-line revenue over the past 12 months, marking its third consecutive year of sustained threefold revenue expansion. Alongside this revenue trajectory, the client roster crossed the 300-customer mark, while the internal workforce doubled within the same timeframe to support deployments across Fortune 500 enterprises, large commercial real estate portfolios, and industrial facilities.
"The capital infusion validates our core thesis that modern physical operations do not need expensive hardware overhauls to become intelligent," stated Sam Joseph, Co-founder of the enterprise. "By layering our computer vision models over legacy assets, a single operator can efficiently monitor a surface area that previously demanded multiple security personnel, resulting in quantifiable reductions in operational incidents and guard-related overhead."
Momentum Drivers
The funding comes amid broader venture capital interest in the Physical AI segment, where software models interact directly with physical infrastructure and automation systems. Capital allocations in this niche have scaled noticeably, both in domestic hubs and international corridors, as developers move toward training algorithms on real-world operational datasets.
In May 2026, Neocambrian AI set up a robotics data center in India to collect training data for automated systems. Around the same time, Human Archive, a new venture led by Indian-origin engineers, raised $8.2 million in seed funding. In Bengaluru, Mowito secured $3 million in pre-seed funding from Version One Ventures to build foundation models that train industrial hardware through behavioral demonstrations instead of manual programming.
The firm has added automated forensic search tools that can scan thousands of hours of old footage in seconds to find specific behaviors or objects. This upgrade is part of a larger plan to shift the platform from simple monitoring to an active business intelligence tool for asset managers.
About Hakimo
Hakimo is based in Menlo Park, California, and was founded by Indian-origin entrepreneurs Sam Joseph and Sagar Honnungar. The company develops enterprise-grade computer vision software that connects directly with both analog and digital surveillance systems.
By avoiding the need to replace existing infrastructure, its platform serves enterprise clients, critical infrastructure operators, and asset managers who need automated tools for security, compliance, and risk management.
