Conntour Announces its Launch with $7M Seed Round to Transform Video Intelligence with Limitless AI Search

Conntour, the only AI video intelligence platform designed to adapt to real-world complexities in real-time, led by military and intelligence veterans, including Matan Goldner, Tomer Kulla, and the team, launched with $7 million in seed funding from General Catalyst, Y Combinator, SV Angel, and Liquid 2 Ventures, among others. 

Conntour enables security teams to query cameras using natural language, identifying objects, people, or situations without preset rules, for example, searches like “a man with a tattoo” or “a van with fruit prints.” Founded by experienced computer vision experts, Conntour emerged from Palantir’s Startup Fellowship and is deployed in Singapore’s homeland security operations.

Traditional video surveillance requires operators to define targets in advance, often before the actual need is clear, noted Conntour CEO Matan Goldner. Existing systems are limited to detecting predefined parameters such as weapons or specific car models, leaving gaps in identifying nuanced, real-world scenarios. Conntour’s platform introduces search-engine-level intelligence to camera networks, enabling faster threat response and reducing investigation time from days to minutes.

Breaking Free from Parameter-Based Limitations

Traditional video analytics relies on predefined parameters, leading to missed events, false alarms, and time-consuming reviews, limitations that can be critical in high-stakes environments.

Conntour removes these constraints with AI that understands complex, real-world queries across live and historical footage, at any scale. Within intelligence operations, the challenge has been extracting meaningful insights from vast video data; Conntour enables flexible, plain-language search that adapts to evolving needs.

Key Platform Capabilities

• Natural language search across live and recorded feeds to identify any object, person, or situation without preset parameters

• Real-time threat detection and intelligent monitoring across large-scale camera networks

• Rapid forensic analysis, enabling review of thousands of hours of footage in minutes and scalable real-time monitoring

• Flexible on-premises deployment utilizing existing camera infrastructure without additional hardware

• User-friendly interface designed for non-technical operators, requiring no specialized training

Measurable Impact on Security Operations

Conntour delivers significant performance gains over traditional video analytics:

• A single operator can monitor thousands of cameras instead of requiring large teams

• Thousands of hours of footage can be analyzed in minutes

• Up to 90% reduction in manual video review time

• Up to 80% fewer missed security events through continuous, parameter-free monitoring

• Up to 70% reduction in false alarms with improved contextual understanding

Conntour stands out due to the founders’ deep, first-hand understanding of real-world security operations, noted Yuri Sagalov, Managing Director at General Catalyst. Experience gained in high-stakes environments is reflected in both the product design and the rapid trust established with government and enterprise partners. Conntour is positioned to transform how organizations search and act on video intelligence.
