Brighter AI closes Series A financing

With its anonymization technology, Brighter AI makes publicly recorded images and videos usable in a privacy-compliant manner. The startup is now getting support from a new investor.

Brighter AI has closed its Series A funding round. Armilar Venture Partners is a new entrant and led the round. In addition, existing investors ECapital and G+D Ventures have participated. The company did not disclose the amount involved.

Marian Gläser and Patrick Kern founded Brighter AI in 2017 as a spin-off of automotive supplier Hella. The company has developed software that can anonymize people in images and videos. They can then be used for machine learning in a privacy-compliant manner and are used, for example, in the development of autonomous driving, public transport, retail and healthcare. The company has received the European Privacy Seal for its software.

"We have gained five new partnerships in the last twelve months, for example DXC and Siemens, and increased revenue by a high double-digit percentage each quarter," says Brighter AI co-founder and CEO Marian Gläser. "The company's solid growth is now supported by another strong partner. The entire team is looking forward to having Armilar Venture Partners by their side to scale the company to the next level."
