Voxel, a California-based startup, has raised $44 mn in a Series B round led by NewRoad Capital Partners, with additional investment from Eclipse, Rite Hite, Tokio Marine, MTech, HG Ventures, and Whitestone. This brings the company’s total funding to $61 mn.
The company applies AI to workplace safety by analyzing footage from existing security cameras to detect hazardous conditions and unsafe actions in real time.
Its technology is used in warehouses, factories, ports, and other industrial settings to help organizations reduce incidents before they occur.
CEO Vernon O’Donnell stated that the product supports workers in physically demanding environments without adding tasks for managers. By integrating into daily routines, the system reportedly leads to a reduction of up to 80% in high-risk behaviors within months.
We’re developing AI to support the workers performing demanding jobs day in and day out—on warehouse floors, in factories, in ports–really any industrial environment. Leaders don’t need more dashboards or things to do on a daily basis: They need tools that drive action, improve training, and keep teams protected in a way that is part of their daily workflow.

“Our deep commitment to understanding our customers’ operations is why they see up to an 80% reduction in high-risk behaviors just months after deployment.” – Vernon O’Donnell, CEO of Voxel.
Chris Sultemeier, Operating Partner at NewRoad and former EVP of Logistics at Walmart, noted that Voxel addresses a known need across industries—enhancing safety in operational environments where real-time oversight has historically been limited.
Voxel is solving a problem every operator understands—how to keep people safe while running complex, high-velocity environments.
