About Pax

Pax is an AI-native public safety company that provides a data platform to law enforcement agencies, primarily in Latin America. The company was founded by CEO David Peixoto, who previously scaled the educational technology company Arco to a Nasdaq listing and co-founded the financial services company Isaac. In May 2026, Pax announced one of the largest seed investments in Latin American history, raising $40 million in a round co-led by Greenoaks and Benchmark. The company's core business addresses the challenge of solving crime, which it frames as a data problem. It targets a market where a high percentage of crimes, such as robberies and homicides, go unsolved due to disconnected data systems. Pax operates by partnering with state and municipal governments, providing its platform to help law enforcement resolve cases more quickly and reduce violent crime. In its initial deployments across more than 30 cities in Brazil, the platform was reported to have reduced violent crime by 27% and doubled police efficiency within six months. Pax's platform functions as a unified intelligence system that connects disparate data sources, including camera feeds, police records, and criminal databases. An AI-powered layer analyzes this real-world data—such as vehicles, people, and locations—to build an intelligence graph. This system delivers investigative leads and real-time alerts to officers, augmenting their capacity by automating time-consuming tasks like reviewing footage and cross-referencing information. To ensure accountability, the platform logs all data queries and attributes every access to an identified operator for improved transparency and auditability.
