Intenseye

Intenseye provides an AI-powered platform for workplace environmental, health, and safety (EHS). The company was founded in 2018 by CEO Sercan Esen and CTO Serhat Cillidag, former AI engineers from Sony's Turkey office. Their journey began after a 2017 coding competition where they developed an AI-powered glasses prototype, which highlighted the potential of AI to significantly impact lives. This inspired them to create a solution to proactively address the limitations of traditional, reactive workplace safety methods. The company is headquartered in New York, with offices in Berlin and Istanbul.

The company's core offering is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that integrates with a facility's existing CCTV cameras to provide 24/7 monitoring and real-time detection of safety hazards. Using computer vision, the platform analyzes live video streams to identify over 35 types of unsafe acts, ergonomic risks, and dangerous conditions, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) non-compliance, forklift safety issues, and unauthorized access to danger zones. When a potential hazard is detected, the system sends real-time alerts to EHS professionals, enabling immediate intervention. A key feature of the technology is its focus on worker privacy; it employs advanced anonymization techniques to strip all personally identifiable information from the video data.

Intenseye operates on a subscription-based business model, serving large enterprises and Fortune 500 companies in high-risk sectors like manufacturing, construction, and consumer goods across more than 25 countries. The company has established partnerships with insurers to extend its services to their clients. As of February 2024, Intenseye has raised over $90 million in total funding, with its latest Series B round securing $64 million. This funding is being used to expand its technology, incorporate large language models (LLMs), add mobile support, and further invest in its privacy and ethical AI innovations.
