Hakimo, a company in AI physical security monitoring, announced the close of a $12 million growth round led by existing investor Zigg Capital, with participation from existing investors Neotribe Ventures, Vertex Ventures, Defy.vc and Rocketship.vc. The financing will support accelerated product innovation, expansion across key verticals and continued team growth.

Over the past 12 months, the company has tripled revenue year over year, expanded its customer base to 300+ customers and doubled its team, including the addition of Bret Knobelauch as chief revenue officer. With $32 million raised to date, the company has expanded into new verticals and launched new capabilities like AI-powered forensic search.

“At American Landmark, we are continually looking for meaningful ways to reduce risk and better support our on-site teams,” said Rachel Palmer, chief administrative officer, American Landmark Apartments. “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.”

Ryan Orley, managing partner, Zigg Capital, added, “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.”

Sam Joseph, co-founder and CEO, 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 real estate while accelerating expansion into other markets and geographies. The company also plans to invest further in extending its current capabilities to serve non-security use cases, such as safety, compliance, customer experience, etc., in addition to continued team expansion.
