375ai Raises $10 Million to Power the Next Phase of Real World AI
We’re entering a new chapter for AI, one that’s unfolding beyond the cloud, in the physical world around us.
AI is shifting to the edge, into devices on street corners, in warehouses, and in our homes. As NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said recently, “It started with perception AI, understanding images, words, and sounds. Then generative AI, creating text, images, and sound. Now we’re entering the era of physical AI, AI that can perceive, reason, plan, and act.
Building the Foundation for Physical AI
The physical world is generating more data than ever before, but most of it is invisible. Traffic systems, advertising platforms, and governments still rely on outdated infrastructure and fragmented data sources to understand how people and goods move through cities. Centralized data pipelines are expensive, slow, and often limited to incomplete or delayed insights. Meanwhile, AI systems are hungry for real world context not just synthetic inputs. Without structured, real time data, they can’t power smarter mobility, logistics, and safety solutions.
375ai’s flagship device, 375edge, processes terabytes of raw video locally and distills them into megabytes of hyper focused insight, reducing bandwidth needs by 26,000x and turning real world complexity into actionable signal. This data improves logistics, ad placement, and public safety, while helping cities operate more efficiently. No other edge network provides real-time, structured visibility into the physical world at this scale.
Today we’re excited to announce that 375ai has raised an additional $5 million to expand its edge data intelligence network and deliver real-world insights for AI models, cities, and enterprises. The round was led by Delphi Ventures, Strobe Ventures, and HackVC, with participation from ARCA, and Heartcore bringing total funding to $10 million with previous participation from 6MV, ARCA, Primal, and EV3.
“375ai is positioned to become core infrastructure for AI,” said Tommy Shaughnessy, Founding Partner of Delphi Ventures. “Its ability to compress vast amounts of raw data into actionable intelligence at scale has the power to transform entire sectors, from creating smarter mobility systems to powering more meaningful AI-driven applications worldwide.”
Through a partnership with Outfront Media, 375ai already monitors 1.5 million vehicles daily through its deployments, providing businesses, local agencies, and logistic operators unprecedented visibility into the movement and behavior of the world that was previously impossible to achieve.
Beyond Los Angeles, 375ai is actively rolling out deployments across the New York and Miami metropolitan areas, with international expansion planned for 2026. The new capital will support faster deployments, denser coverage in existing markets, and continued product development.
“Cities, enterprises, and governments need real-time intelligence to understand the physical world as it unfolds,” said Harry Dewhirst, CEO of 375ai. “This investment validates and accelerates our mission to drive real-world impact and reshape the way society works, as we move towards physical AI and an agentic world — from enabling smarter cities and businesses to creating safer streets and more efficient robotics and autonomous transport.”
375ai is led by a seasoned executive team with decades of experience in networking, cybersecurity, telecoms, digital media, and data. Alongside CEO Harry Dewhirst, the leadership team includes COO Rob Atherton, CBO Trevor Branon, and Chief AI Officer Chad Partridge. Collectively, they bring backgrounds at companies such as Juniper Networks, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Linksys, Singtel, and Telefonica.
About 375ai
Founded in 2022, 375ai transforms messy, analog real-world phenomena into structured digital intelligence. By deploying AI powered edge devices across cities, 375ai makes the world machine-readable, one city at a time. Each 375edge device processes massive raw data streams locally, distilling them into actionable insights that fuel applications in advertising, logistics, public safety, economic forecasting, and beyond. With live deployments in Los Angeles and expansions underway in New York and Miami, 375ai is building the foundation for real world AI at global scale.
