SENAI Secures $6.2 mn
SENAI has emerged with $6.2 million in seed funding led by 10D Ventures, with participation from FS Ventures, 1948 Ventures, and global investors including Jonathan Kolber, to develop a real‑time intelligence platform for analyzing online video threats. Founded to help government agencies and intelligence teams extract actionable signals from unstructured video, SENAI’s AI models analyze video, audio, text, and geo‑location to produce organized situational intelligence, called Online Video Intelligence (OVINT). The technology helps track high‑risk content before it proliferates, addressing a gap in security workflows dominated by text‑based tools. Led by Co‑Founder and CEO David Allouche‑Levinsky, SENAI will expand deployments with law enforcement and enterprise customers while establishing OVINT as a core discipline in threat analysis.

The platform accelerates onboarding for banks, fintechs, and enterprises by automating KYC, KYB, CDD, and AML workflows, delivering measurable improvements in speed and productivity. Duna’s innovation addresses costly legacy compliance systems by creating reusable identity data, reducing fraud risk, and enabling “one‑click” business onboarding across platforms. The funding will expand enterprise capabilities and regulatory compliance features.
