375ai Raises $10 Million to Revolutionize Real-World AI with Edge Data Intelligence
In a significant step toward transforming how the physical world interacts with artificial intelligence, 375ai, an edge data intelligence company, has announced the closing of an additional $5 million in funding. This brings its total capital raised to $10 million, with contributions from prominent investors such as Delphi Ventures, Strobe Capital, HackVC, 6MV, ARCA, Primal, and EV3. The infusion of funds will accelerate the deployment of its cutting-edge edge data network across the United States, enabling real-time insights for AI models, cities, enterprises, and governments.
Bridging the Gap Between Physical and Digital Worlds
The physical world is generating unprecedented amounts of data, but much of it remains inaccessible or underutilized. Traffic systems, advertising platforms, and municipal governments continue to rely on outdated infrastructure and fragmented data sources to understand how people and goods move through urban environments. Centralized data pipelines are costly, inefficient, and often provide incomplete or delayed insights. Meanwhile, AI systems require real-world context—not just synthetic inputs—to power smarter mobility, logistics, and safety solutions.
“Cities, enterprises, and governments need real-time intelligence to make sense of the physical world as it unfolds,” said Harry Dewhirst, CEO of 375ai. “This investment validates our mission to drive meaningful impact and reshape society as we transition toward 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 poised to lead this transformation.”
A Vision for Smarter Infrastructure
375ai is building an edge data intelligence network on Solana, leveraging blockchain technology to ensure scalability, security, and transparency. At the heart of its solution is the 375edge device, a compact yet powerful tool equipped with high-definition cameras, audio sensors, environmental monitors, and on-device compute capabilities powered by NVIDIA Jetson and DeepStream.
Instead of transmitting massive raw data streams, the 375edge processes information locally at the source. This approach reduces one terabyte of raw input into just 35 megabytes of actionable insights daily—a staggering 26,000x reduction in data volume. By shifting computation to the edge, 375ai minimizes bandwidth costs, enhances privacy, and delivers real-time intelligence while adhering to stringent privacy standards.
Tommy Shaughnessy, Founding Partner of Delphi Ventures, emphasized the transformative potential of 375ai’s technology: “375ai is positioned to become core infrastructure for AI. Its ability to compress vast amounts of raw data into actionable intelligence at scale has the power to revolutionize entire sectors, from creating smarter mobility systems to powering more impactful AI-driven applications worldwide.”
Real-Time Insights Driving Impact
Through its strategic partnership with Outfront Media, 375ai already monitors over 1.5 million vehicles daily across key metropolitan areas. These deployments provide businesses, local agencies, and logistics operators with unparalleled visibility into movement patterns and behaviors that were previously unattainable. For example, municipalities can optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion, advertisers can refine targeting strategies based on audience behavior, and logistics companies can streamline operations for greater efficiency.
While Los Angeles serves as a hub for initial deployments, 375ai is aggressively expanding its footprint across other major U.S. cities, including New York and Miami. The company plans to extend its reach internationally by 2026, bringing its innovative solutions to global markets. The newly acquired capital will support faster rollouts, denser coverage in existing regions, and ongoing advancements in product development.
Leadership Backed by Expertise
375ai’s success is driven by a leadership team with decades of experience spanning networking, cybersecurity, telecoms, digital media, and data analytics. Alongside CEO Harry Dewhirst, the executive roster includes COO Rob Atherton, CBO Trevor Branon, and Chief AI Officer Chad Partridge. Collectively, they bring expertise from industry leaders like Juniper Networks, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Linksys, Singtel, and Telefonica.
This diverse background positions 375ai to tackle complex challenges at the intersection of AI, IoT, and big data. Their combined vision is clear: to create a future where every aspect of the physical world is machine-readable, empowering organizations to make smarter decisions in real time.
Transforming Industries Through Innovation
As AI continues to evolve, the demand for real-world training data becomes increasingly critical. Synthetic datasets alone cannot replicate the complexity and unpredictability of human interactions in physical spaces. 375ai addresses this gap by delivering structured, real-time data directly from the field. This capability has far-reaching implications across multiple industries:
- Smart Cities: Municipalities can use 375ai’s insights to improve public safety, enhance urban planning, and implement sustainable practices.
- Autonomous Vehicles: Developers gain access to accurate, real-world scenarios to train self-driving algorithms effectively.
- Advertising: Brands can leverage hyper-localized data to craft targeted campaigns that resonate with specific audiences.
- Logistics: Companies benefit from optimized routing, reduced delivery times, and improved resource allocation.
By democratizing access to high-quality, real-time data, 375ai empowers stakeholders to innovate confidently and efficiently.
