AIRIA Secures Seed Funding to Expand Commercial and Federal Operations

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AIRIA (airia20.com), an Operational AI company transforming real-time signal data into actionable spatial intelligence, announces the successful close of its seed funding round, with participation from leading early-stage investors including Counterview Capital and Fulcrum Venture Group.

AIRIA is rapidly being adopted across higher education and commercial industries. Universities and research institutions turn to Operational AI to optimize space utilization, reduce costs, accelerate sustainability goals and automate building operations. By empowering teams with real-time spatial intelligence, AIRIA drives smarter space planning, streamlines critical operations and enables data-backed decision-making at scale, delivering measurable value on campuses and within complex industrial environments.

“AIRIA is redefining how we monitor and respond to the physical world. Their platform delivers real-time spatial intelligence that’s already helping major universities reduce emissions and manage risk, and it’s just as valuable to defense and disaster response,” said Andrew Bartholomew, Founder and Managing Partner, Fulcrum Venture Group.

This funding marks a pivotal milestone in AIRIA’s continued expansion and will directly enable the launch of AIRIA Federal; a dedicated division focused on delivering advanced AI-driven technology solutions for the U.S. federal government and defense agencies. AIRIA Federal is purpose-built to provide military, homeland security and federal mission partners with software for real-time awareness of facility security and operational readiness, supporting the protection of critical infrastructure and national defense objectives.

"At AIRIA, we are transforming how organizations understand and respond to the movement of people, devices and signals in dynamic spaces to drive operational excellence," said Edward Nass, AIRIA's Chief Executive Officer.

"This funding is a critical step toward expanding our commercial and defense applications, especially as we scale real-time situational awareness using advanced signal intelligence. We're excited to accelerate our mission with the support of our growing team, investors and partners.”

Founded in 2020, AIRIA has rapidly gained traction with both commercial and Department of Defense customers, landing an AFWERX STTR Phase II contract earlier this year. Beyond higher education and enterprise, the AIRIA team is deeply invested in supporting the mission of protecting our military and national interests through ongoing research, development and close partnerships with government stakeholders.
