Octopus builds cloud-based physical security systems for large facilities such as airports, factories, hospitals, and commercial buildings, with monitoring via web and mobile apps. Its platform analyzes real-time data from video surveillance feeds, traffic reports, social media keywords, and fire and burglar alarms to help prevent and respond to emergencies. The company emphasizes cybersecurity and ease of integration, offering SDKs and interoperability with vendors like Hikvision. Octopus' products are already deployed in Israel with the government, 28 Coca-Cola factories, VISA, and three national banks. Co-founders Tal Bar Or, a former Israel Security Agency veteran, and cybersecurity expert Baruch Tagori lead the company. The startup raised $2.5 million from Singulariteam and plans to use the funds to expand into the U.S. and Asia, leveraging Singulariteam backers such as Tencent and Renren to aid growth in China.
