Solink Raises Over $100 Million to Scale AI Vision Intelligence

Solink has raised more than $100 million to expand its AI Vision Intelligence platform, betting that the half-million cameras it already manages can become a real-time data engine for physical businesses.

Vertu Capital led the round. Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, an existing investor, participated materially. Two new investors joined: Golub Growth and Comcast Ventures.

What does the money buy?

Solink plans to spend the capital in three directions: accelerating its AI product roadmap, pursuing strategic growth opportunities, and expanding platform adoption across global markets. The company said the funding will also support further product development as it expands internationally and evaluates additional strategic moves.

The platform itself works with hardware businesses already own. Solink analyzes video from existing camera infrastructure at physical locations and converts it into actionable data. The stated goals: reduce losses, improve safety, increase revenue, and give operators a clearer read on performance.

The scale is already substantial. More than 35,000 customer locations across 65 countries currently use the platform. Solink manages more than 500,000 cameras through it. Customers span retail, restaurants, warehouses, and other physical environments.

Why cameras and not new sensors?

The core pitch is economic. Solink's approach lets customers extract additional value from cameras they've already deployed, rather than requiring entirely new infrastructure. The platform surfaces significant operational events automatically, so teams don't have to manually monitor video feeds.

The company plans to expand capabilities across several areas: readiness, merchandising, safety, loss prevention, operations, and revenue optimization.

CEO and co-founder Mike Matta framed the moment in sweeping terms. "We're entering a watershed moment for how physical businesses operate, as AI Vision Intelligence brings the richness and immediacy of digital data into the physical world," Matta said. "Our vision is a world where businesses no longer need to see what's taking place in order to understand what's happening."

He added: "Solink gives businesses the ability to see more, know more, and do more faster, using the cameras they already have – from readiness and safety, to merchandising and operations. With this new funding, we're excited to lead the evolution of physical operations and help businesses reduce loss, improve performance, and uncover new revenue opportunities."

What do the investors see?

Eric Kafka, partner at Vertu Capital, put the bet in category terms. "AI vision intelligence represents one of the most significant opportunities in software today," Kafka said. "Solink has demonstrated the foresight and execution required to define this emerging category and built a trusted platform that helps businesses unlock operational value from the infrastructure they already have."

Goldman's Mike Reilly, managing director within Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, doubled down on an existing position. "Since our initial investment, Solink has consistently demonstrated its ability to execute while expanding its market opportunity," Reilly said. "Strong customer adoption and an ambitious product vision made participating in this round a natural decision. We believe Solink is well positioned to be a leader in this new era of AI vision intelligence."

Is this a category or a feature?

Solink is headquartered in Ottawa and has built its platform around a specific thesis: video data can serve as an enterprise intelligence layer, not just a security tool. The company is positioning AI Vision Intelligence as an emerging software category for businesses that operate physical locations.

The financing follows continued customer expansion and growing demand for AI systems that bring real-time data analysis — the kind digital businesses take for granted — into stores, restaurants, and warehouses.

The bet now rests on execution: turning 500,000 existing cameras into the intelligence backbone of physical operations.
