Outsight

140 bis Rue de Rennes, Paris, Ile-de-France, 75006, France

Overview

Outsight builds real-time 3D LiDAR perception software that ingests data from any LiDAR vendor to enable situational awareness for Smart Cities, Aviation, Robotics, Industry and Logistics. Its core product addresses vendor heterogeneity and massive raw-data challenges by providing Edge processing and a new Cloud-based pipeline capable of handling tens of petabytes for dynamic scenes. Outsight’s solutions have been deployed across Europe, the United States, Asia and the Middle East and include the largest airport LiDAR deployment tested at Paris-Charles de Gaulle (Groupe ADP). The company emphasizes plug-and-play integration so application developers and integrators can harness LiDAR without deep 3D expertise. Outsight plans to push an ambitious product roadmap — notably Edge and Cloud processing, Digital Twin use cases, and automatic 3D data annotation. The company announced a $22 million fundraising to support expansion and accelerate its product and go-to-market plans. Outsight builds a 3D Semantic Camera — an all-in-one 3D sensing device that both perceives and understands the environment and can identify object material composition. The company offers two product families: a 3D Smart Monitoring solution for wide-area premises (airports, malls, venues) and a vehicle-specific version for cars and off-road mobile robots. The sensor is designed for mass production and was launched in September at AutoSens. Outsight positions the technology to improve safety and reliability for manned machines (Level 1–3 ADAS) and to enable fully automated machines including Level 4–5 self-driving cars, robots, drones, and autonomous flying taxis. Founded in 2019, the team is based in Paris with offices in Helsinki and San Francisco. Financially, Outsight completed a $20 million seed round in 2019, one of the largest European seed rounds that year.
