索林克融资超过100M，用AI从安全相机取出业务数据
视频情报公司索林克公司今天透露，它拥有超过一亿美元的融资新资金。
索林克从2009年开始在渥太华销售云视频监控，其软件现在使用人工智能从已经安装的安全相机零售商，餐馆和仓库运营商中提取信息。 称公司的新资金将为它所谓的AI视觉智能提供路线图的资金。 根据自己的统计，65个国家超过35 000个客户点的大约50万相机现在输入该平台。
该公司于2月增加了AI agents用于周边安全和防损失工作。 这些agents运行在边缘设备上，不需要专有相机。 索林克出售给安全行动中心的VerifEye指挥中心一个月后获得了视觉语言模型，目的是在操作员看到假警报之前过滤出假警报。
在联合创始人兼首席执行官迈克·马塔看来，任何人都不需要观看录像来了解企业内部发生的事情。 他称目前是实体企业的“水分时刻”。 有了新的钱，Matta 称，索林克想帮助客户减少损失并发现他们现有相机的收入。
多伦多的私募股权公司Vertu Capital领导了这一回合。 根据索林克的说法，高盛集团公司也通过高盛另类公司(Growth Equality at Goldmans Alternatures)的"增长股"(Growth Equality)投入了大量资金。 2023年7月，银行资产管理部门领导了公司6000万美元的C系列回合。 Golub Growth and Comcast Ventures)作为新投资者入驻。
Vertu的合作伙伴Eric Kafka称AI视觉智能是当今软件中最重要的机会之一。 索林克，他称，已经展示了定义该类别所需的远见和执行。 称 Mike Reilly是Goldman成长股权集团的总裁
索林克没有披露估值，也没有详细说明它计划用该回合的部分资金提供的战略机会。 包括了新的资金，投资者现在为公司投入了1.98多亿美元。

Solink raises more than $100M to pull business data from security cameras with AI
Video intelligence company Solink Corp. revealed today that it has raised more than $100 million in new funding.
Solink started out in Ottawa in 2009 selling cloud video surveillance, and its software now uses artificial intelligence to pull information out of the security cameras retailers, restaurants and warehouse operators already have installed. The company said the new money will fund its roadmap for what it calls AI vision intelligence. By its own count, about 500,000 cameras at more than 35,000 customer locations in 65 countries now feed into the platform.
The company added AI agents for perimeter security and loss prevention work in February. Those agents run on edge devices and do not need proprietary cameras. The VerifEye command center that Solink sells to security operations centers gained vision language models a month later, with the aim of filtering out false alarms before an operator ever sees them.
Nobody should need to watch footage to know what is happening inside a business, in the view of co-founder and Chief Executive Mike Matta. He called the present a “watershed moment” for physical businesses. With the new money, Matta said, Solink wants to help customers reduce loss and uncover revenue from their existing cameras.
Toronto-based private equity firm Vertu Capital led the round. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. also put in a material amount through Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, according to Solink. The bank’s asset management arm led the company’s $60 million Series C round in July 2023. Golub Growth and Comcast Ventures came in as new investors.
Eric Kafka, a partner at Vertu, called AI vision intelligence “one of the most significant opportunities in software today.” Solink, he said, has shown the foresight and execution needed to define the category. Customer adoption and the product roadmap made coming back “a natural decision,” said Mike Reilly, a managing director in Goldman’s growth equity group.
Solink did not disclose a valuation, and it gave no detail on the strategic opportunities it also plans to fund with part of the round. Including the new funding, investors have now put more than $198 million into the company.
