Conntour raises $7M from General Catalyst, YC to build an AI search engine for security video systems 26.03.2026

Conntour, a startup developing an AI-powered search engine for security video systems, has successfully raised $7 million in a seed funding round led by General Catalyst and including participation from Y Combinator, SV Angel, and Liquid 2 Ventures. The company's platform utilizes advanced vision-language models to allow security personnel to query live and recorded camera feeds using natural language, enabling real-time identification of objects, people, and situations. Conntour also offers automated threat detection and incident reporting capabilities, distinguishing itself through its scalability to manage thousands of camera feeds efficiently. Despite ethical concerns surrounding surveillance technology, Conntour emphasizes its selective client approach, citing existing partnerships with government entities like Singapore's Central Narcotics Bureau. The company aims to further enhance its system's LLM capabilities while maintaining computational efficiency.
