Hakimo

Hakimo is an AI platform that brings cybersecurity-like intelligence to physical security operations. Founded in 2020 by Stanford-trained AI experts Sam Joseph and Sagar Honnungar, the company builds AI agents that work with existing security cameras and badge readers to monitor threats, detect anomalies described in plain language, issue real-time speaker warnings, and execute standard operating procedures — replacing or augmenting human security monitoring staff. Headquartered in Menlo Park, California, Hakimo has raised $20.5M total including a $10.5M Series A led by Vertex Ventures and Zigg Capital. The $10.5M total known in the DB reflects prior seed and Series A tranche before the latest extension.
