SENAI, a next-generation Online Video Intelligence (OVINT) platform, has raised $6.2 million in seed funding led by 10D Ventures, with participation from FS Ventures, 1948 Ventures, and global investors including Jonathan Kolber. The funding will accelerate product development, expand deployments with intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and establish OVINT as a recognized intelligence discipline.

Addressing the Video-First Security Challenge
As online videos increasingly serve as the first signals of security incidents, influence campaigns, and misinformation, the sheer volume overwhelms traditional monitoring and analysis methods. Videos spread rapidly across platforms, often outpacing human moderation and official reporting. SENAI bridges this gap by turning fragmented, real-time video content into actionable intelligence, allowing agencies to detect and respond to threats before narratives solidify or escalate into real-world consequences.
How SENAI's OVINT Platform Works
SENAI uses advanced AI models to process video, audio, text overlays, and geolocation data from open-source social platforms. The platform identifies and maps unfolding events in real time, providing clear, geo-specific insights that support faster decision-making. Unlike conventional open-source intelligence focused on text and static media, OVINT prioritizes live video behavior, capturing dynamic context that text alone cannot convey.
Real-World Deployments and Market Focus
In its first year, SENAI has conducted live operations with government agencies in multiple regions. These deployments validate the platform's ability to handle high-volume video streams in mission-critical environments. While government and intelligence agencies remain the core market, the dual-use design has attracted enterprise interest, evidenced by a recent U.S. client agreement. The company aims to broaden its enterprise solutions in 2026.
Leadership and Strategic Vision
SENAI is led by a team of experienced intelligence professionals. The recent addition of Michel Berdah as Chief Revenue Officer and Partner strengthens commercial execution as the company scales.
"Video has become the primary signal shaping narratives, influence, and security outcomes," says David Allouche-Levinsky, Co-Founder and CEO of SENAI. "SENAI was built to support decision-makers protecting the West against this new level of influence. 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."
"What impressed us about SENAI was the team's deep intelligence background, its execution discipline, and the way they identified a significant gap in intelligence," says Emma Lipski, Partner at 10D Ventures. "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."
This funding and early traction highlight the rising importance of AI-powered video analysis in the security, intelligence, and SaaS sectors, where real-time processing of unstructured media is becoming essential for threat detection and response.
