The Israeli startup SenAI, which specializes in video analysis using artificial intelligence (AI), announced a $6.2 million seed round on Wednesday, which will allow it to expand into the US market and launch its long-awaited business-to-business (B2B) model. 

“This seed investment will allow us to target large enterprises interested in analysing huge quantities of videos online and what people are saying about them in those videos,” CEO and co-founder of SenAI, David Allouche-Levinsky, told The Jerusalem Post.

“There is a new generation of consumers who express themselves with social media. With more videos and less text. Until now, most companies relied on text analysis to understand what people were saying about them online, but left a big part of the consumers out,” he added.

The CEO also confirmed to the Post that the roadmap now includes a heavy investment into the US market and selling their service to private actors in a B2B model. “We are different from other seed round companies mainly because we are already profitable thanks to our current contracts,” he added.

Founded in 2025, SenAI explained that it is building the global standard for what they call Online Video Intelligence (OVINT). “Using multimodal AI that combines computer vision, audio, language, and geospatial inference, SenAI provides real-time situational awareness, clarifying what’s happening and where,” the company said in a statement.

Since its inception, the company has focused on working alongside governments to prevent security incidents by analysing videos in live environments.

According to their release, SenAI worked alongside a European government during a large-scale outbreak of violence, tracking and mapping relevant online videos in real time.

“Using open-source video alone, the platform provided a live operational picture of key actors and shifting dynamics as the situation unfolded, helping teams capture critical evidence before videos were taken down,” they explained.

In a separate incident, the company analyzed a large online video campaign linked to suspected Russian influence activity, uncovering coordinated account activity while flagging manipulated and AI-generated clips.

Allouche-Levinsky told the Post that, while the company didn’t develop an AI engine specialized in recognizing AI-generated video, it has agreements with other companies that specialize in that. 

“As misinformation spreads at scale, SENAI helps intelligence and law enforcement agencies intervene earlier, before false narratives harden into public belief or drive real-world consequences,” he said in a press release.

The seed funding round was led by 10D Ventures, with additional backing from FS Ventures, 1948 Ventures, and strategic global investors, such as Jonathan Kolber.

“SenAI is already addressing these urgent challenges for government agencies and tier-one customers worldwide, not merely running experiments, and that real-world impact is what sold us," said Emma Lipski, Partner at 10D Ventures.
