SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 14 May 2025 — Unleash live, the leading real-time video analytics and Machine Learning AI platform for infrastructure and field operations, today announced the successful completion of its Series B capital raise, securing A$17 million in new growth capital.
This investment will support Unleash live’s continued expansion across international markets and strengthen its platform for enterprise and government customers in energy, utilities, transport, and public safety.
“We’re proud to have secured strong support in a cautious investment climate,” said Hanno Blankenstein, Co-Founder and CEO. “This funding enables us to scale faster, deepen our AI computer vision product leadership, and expand into further global markets where infrastructure resilience and operational efficiency are critical.

Unleash live’s growth trajectory has been defined by strong traction across ANZ, North America, and Europe. Since its Series A raise in 2021, the company has expanded its customer base, launched its connected drone and robot automation Autofly product, developed its industrial AI App platform, and deepened partnerships with hardware manufacturers and cloud platforms (i.e. Siemens, Nvidia, AWS, and MS Azure).
This round represents the next step in our growth trajectory. It reflects continued confidence in the team, the platform, and the company’s growing impact with industrial clients despite a cautious global venture capital environment.
