Israeli AI startup Conntour, with a presence in Tel Aviv and Miami, has secured $7 million in seed funding to launch its video intelligence platform.
The funding will accelerate development of Conntour's AI system, which enables security teams to search across thousands of cameras using natural language queries instead of relying on preset detection rules.
Prestigious Investors Fuel Growth
The round was led by General Catalyst, with participation from Y Combinator, SV Angel, and Liquid 2 Ventures, signaling strong investor confidence in the company’s approach.
Founded in 2024 by computer vision engineers Matan Goldner and Tomer Kola, Conntour draws on experience shaped by real-world operational challenges, including reserve service backgrounds.
The startup has joined Palantir’s Startup Fellowship program and is already being used in homeland security operations in Singapore.
Transformative Technology and Market Impact
Conntour’s platform allows users to query both live and recorded video feeds using natural language, making it possible to identify objects, people, or situations without predefined categories.
This approach addresses a key limitation in traditional surveillance systems, which often require manual review or preconfigured rules that can miss unexpected events.
By turning video footage into searchable data, the platform enables faster investigations and more efficient monitoring across large-scale camera networks.
Looking Ahead
The company plans to continue enhancing its AI capabilities and expanding into new markets, as demand grows for more intelligent and flexible video analysis tools.
As part of Israel’s broader AI ecosystem, Conntour reflects a growing wave of startups applying advanced AI to real-world security challenges.
With fresh funding and early adoption in high-stakes environments, the company is positioning itself within the evolving video intelligence market.
