Lumana, a startup developing AI-based video security solutions, announced that it has raised $40 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Wing Venture Capital with participation from existing investors Norwest and S Capital, bringing Lumana’s total funding to $64 million.

The new capital will help accelerate Lumana’s go-to-market strategy and fuel further development of its AI-powered video intelligence platform, which transforms ordinary camera feeds into real-time monitoring, detection, and response tools using vision language models (VLM) and agentic AI.

“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, which has offices in California and Tel Aviv, was founded by CEO Sagi Ben Moshe, who was once Intel’s most senior Israeli executive. Ben Moshe left Intel in 2021 after the semiconductor giant announced it was shutting down its RealSense computer vision division, headed by Ben Moshe, who also served as general manager of Intel’s Emerging Growth and Incubation Group following the acquisition of his 3D Imaging company in 2012. Intel announced earlier this month that RealSense has completed its spin-off by raising $50 million in fresh funding. The move made RealSense an independent company, separating it from its former status as a division of the chip giant.

Lumana is tapping into a rapidly growing market. The global value of AI video surveillance is expected to more than double in the next four years, while broader AI video analytics may grow more than threefold by 2028, reaching $69 billion.

Lumana says its platform analyzes over a billion images a day and integrates AI across the entire video workflow. Its software supports centralized management of thousands of cameras and sites, with real-time alerts tied to specific behaviors, objects, or compliance triggers.

Since emerging from stealth in April 2024, Lumana has signed on a growing list of customers in retail, healthcare, education, manufacturing, and municipal government. These include McDonald’s, Meta, the Minnesota Twins Baseball Club, New York University, and Tuff Shed.
