Turns existing security cameras into AI coworkers for security, safety and operations
Spot AI, founded in 2018 by Stanford alumni and former Cisco Meraki and Samsara engineers Tanuj Thapliyal, Rish Gupta and Sud Bhatija, turns the cameras businesses already own into searchable, actionable video data. An edge Intelligent Video Recorder plus a cloud dashboard index footage from any IP camera; its Video AI Agents (launched October 2024) watch for safety, security and operational events and act on them — alerts, lights and voice deterrence, machine stops — and in 2026 the company repositioned them as "AI coworkers". It serves 1,000+ customers in manufacturing, retail, healthcare, education and auto services. Rish Gupta is CEO (Tanuj Thapliyal was CEO at the 2022 Series B). The company has raised over $110M; disclosed rounds are a $2M seed, a $20M Series A led by Redpoint (2021), a $40M Series B led by Scale Venture Partners (2022) and a $31M round with Qualcomm Ventures joining (2024). No valuation has been disclosed.
