Unleash live Raises A$17 Million to Fuel Global Growth

Unleash live, an Australian-based company known for its AI-powered real-time video analytics platform, has announced the successful close of its Series B funding round. The company raised A$17 million to support continued international expansion and strengthen its AI and automation products.

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Sydney, Unleash live helps enterprises and government organizations turn live video into actionable insights. The platform works with drones, CCTV, and mobile devices to support safety, efficiency, and rapid response in critical sectors such as energy, utilities, transport, and public safety.

Support for Growth Despite Market Conditions

In a challenging investment environment, the company’s leadership expressed confidence in the new capital raise.

“We’re proud to have secured strong support in a cautious investment climate,” said Hanno Blankenstein, Co-Founder and CEO. “This funding enables us to scale faster, deepen our AI computer vision product leadership, and expand into further global markets where infrastructure resilience and operational efficiency are critical.”

Blankenstein emphasized the rising importance of real-time field intelligence. “As ageing infrastructure and climate risk intensify, real-time data intelligence from the field is becoming essential. This investment recognises our client impact, the company’s momentum, market leadership, and high-quality execution since our inception in 2016.”

Expanding Market Reach and AI Capabilities

Since its Series A round in 2021, Unleash live has launched several new products, including its connected drone and robot automation tool Autofly, and its industrial AI App platform. The company has also formed strategic partnerships with major players like Siemens, Nvidia, AWS, and Microsoft Azure.

The new funding will allow Unleash live to:

  • Grow commercial teams in the Americas and Europe

  • Invest in AI and engineering talent

  • Scale its Integrated Analytics Services and Cloud AI platform

  • Expand research and development in automation

  • Deepen collaboration with industrial automation partners

A Platform for Smarter Infrastructure Management

Unleash live’s tools are already helping industrial clients automate inspections, monitor assets, and respond quickly to safety risks. With operations in ANZ, North America, and Europe, the company is positioned to meet increasing global demand for intelligent infrastructure management.

As governments and industries face growing climate and operational pressures, Unleash live’s solutions offer a way to respond faster and smarter. With the latest round of funding, the company aims to take a leading role in transforming how infrastructure is managed worldwide.
