Lumana, a startup building AI-powered video security tools, has raised $40 million in Series A funding.
The funding round was led by Wing Venture Capital, with support from earlier investors Norwest and S Capital. This brings Lumana’s total funding to $64 million.
The new funding will help Lumana grow its sales and expand its AI video platform. Their technology turns regular camera feeds into smart tools for real-time monitoring, detection, and response using advanced AI models.
“Lumana isn’t just another video security company,” said CEO and founder Sagi Ben Moshe. “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. This investment is a milestone in our mission.”
Ben Moshe said the company is building infrastructure that enables cameras to “perceive, understand context and take action in real time — from detecting and responding to threats to uncovering safety and operational issues.”
Lumana was founded by Sagi Ben Moshe, who was previously Intel’s highest-ranking executive in Israel. The company has offices in California and Tel Aviv. Ben Moshe left Intel in 2021 after it decided to shut down its RealSense computer vision division, which he was leading.
Before that, he also served as the head of Intel’s Emerging Growth and Incubation Group after Intel acquired his 3D imaging startup in 2012. Earlier this month, RealSense became an independent company by raising $50 million in new funding, officially spinning off from Intel.
Lumana’s leadership team also includes Prof. Ron Kimmel as Chief Scientific Officer and Ofir Mulla as Chief Technology Officer. Both previously held top roles at Intel Israel.
Lumana is entering a fast-growing market. The global AI video surveillance market is expected to more than double in the next four years, and AI video analytics could grow over three times by 2028, reaching $69 billion.
Instead of just watching video feeds, Lumana’s AI platform understands behaviors and gives early warnings. It can detect weapons, spot safety issues, and even know if someone isn’t wearing the proper protective gear.
Lumana’s system analyzes over a billion images daily and uses AI at every stage of the video process. It helps manage thousands of cameras and sites, sending real-time alerts based on behavior, objects, or safety rules.
Since coming out of stealth mode in April 2024, Lumana has gained many customers in retail, healthcare, education, manufacturing, and city services. Some of its clients include McDonald’s, Meta, the Minnesota Twins Baseball Club, New York University, and Tuff Shed.
