Company Triples Revenue For Consecutive Years Amid Explosive Demand For Its AI + Services Platform
Hakimo has secured a $12 million growth funding round, bringing its total funding to $32 million as demand continues to grow for its AI-powered physical security monitoring platform. The investment will accelerate product innovation, expand the company’s presence across key industry verticals, and support continued team growth.
The funding round was led by existing investor Zigg Capital, with participation from existing investors Neotribe Ventures, Vertex Ventures, Defy.vc, and Rocketship.vc.
Over the past 12 months, the company has tripled revenue year over year, expanded its customer base to more than 300 customers, and doubled its workforce, including the appointment of Bret Knobelauch as Chief Revenue Officer.
Hakimo has also expanded into new verticals and introduced capabilities such as AI-Powered Forensic Search, further strengthening its AI-powered physical security platform. The company’s customers include Fortune 500 enterprises, real estate operators, and iconic buildings worldwide.
AI-Driven Security For Modern Facilities
Physical security is undergoing a major transformation as rising guard costs, labor shortages, and legacy surveillance systems drive demand for more intelligent and scalable security solutions.
Hakimo addresses these challenges by adding AI intelligence to existing camera infrastructure, allowing a single operator to monitor what previously required ten operators.
Customers using Hakimo have reported up to a 60% reduction in security incidents while also reducing guard-related costs. The company currently monitors millions of square feet of real estate around the clock, including properties operated by American Landmark Apartments.
Rachel Palmer, Chief Administrative Officer at American Landmark Apartments, said:
“At American Landmark, we are continually looking for meaningful ways to reduce risk and better support our on-site teams. Our partnership with Hakimo reflects that commitment by providing greater visibility into potential concerns and helping our teams take proactive, informed action. While no technology can eliminate every risk, we believe investing in innovative tools like Hakimo is an important part of our ongoing effort to create communities where residents and associates feel supported.”
Investors See Growing Market Opportunity
Ryan Orley, Managing Partner at Zigg Capital, said:
“Hakimo has built a category-defining AI security platform for physical spaces. The real estate industry is at an inflection point as operators and tenants are under pressure to cut costs while improving safety. Hakimo solves a key problem in formats ranging from homes to iconic buildings. This investment reflects our conviction that Hakimo is building the future of AI-powered physical security.”
Expansion Plans
Sam Joseph, CEO and Co-Founder of Hakimo, said:
“This financing allows us to move faster across every dimension of the business. We’re expanding our go-to-market efforts rapidly, deepening our product capabilities, and growing the team to match the demand we’re seeing. The opportunity to modernize physical security is enormous, and we’re just getting started.”
With the new funding, Hakimo plans to deepen its presence in the real estate sector while accelerating expansion into additional markets and geographies.
The company also plans to extend its AI capabilities beyond traditional security applications to support safety, compliance, customer experience, and other operational use cases, while continuing to expand its team.
