Airis Labs, an AI defense technology company based in Washington, D.C., has emerged from stealth with $60 million in total funding. This includes a $31 million Series B led by PSG Equity, with participation from TLV Partners, Stepstone Group, Redseed Ventures and several angel investors.
Founded in 2023 by national security veterans and enterprise technology leaders, Airis Labs’ AI platform transforms unstructured visual data from smartphones, drones, social media, CCTV, and body cameras into structured intelligence that analysts and AI agents can act on and understand in real time. The company calls this new category User-Generated Field Intelligence.
Unlike most AI platforms built in controlled lab environments, Airis was operational under real-world conditions within months of its founding. It has also been selected to join the Oracle Defense Ecosystem.
“The next generation of AI used by government agencies needs to understand the physical world: what happened, where it happened, what changed, what matters, and what requires human judgment. Airis gives analysts and operators the clarity to act faster and with greater confidence,” says Noam Friedman, co-founder and CEO of Airis Labs.
The company’s biggest competition is rarely another vendor. Rather it is the fragmented, in-house data science projects government teams build themselves, which rarely scale to meet real operational demands. Airis differentiates by being a production-ready system from day one.
Airis sells enterprise software to government and public safety customers on a subscription basis, with pricing shaped by mission scope, data volumes and support requirements.
Women make up roughly 40% of the company, including one-third of its board. The team includes military veterans, alongside people from AI, enterprise software and government sales backgrounds.
The fresh capital will fund US expansion, product development and headcount growth. The company currently employs around 45 people across the US and Israel and expects to double that by year-end, with hiring focused on engineering, product and customer deployment.
