Spot AI

We provide an AI-powered video surveillance platform that improves productivity and security in various workplaces. Our platform automates real-time actions for safety, operations, and security across manufacturing floors, retail spaces, schools, hospitals, construction sites, and critical infrastructure.

Our offerings include an AI Security Guard, an AI Operations Assistant, NDAA-compliant IP Cameras (with options for specialty cameras like PTZ or fisheye), a Cloud Dashboard for centralized viewing and managing incidents, and an Intelligent Video Recorder for ²⁴⁄₇ local storage and on-device AI processing.

We were founded in 2018 by former R&D leaders from Cisco Meraki and Samsara. We serve over 1,000 customers across more than 1,000 enterprise sites. Our system processes over 1 billion hours of video data daily, which is twice the amount ingested by YouTube. We are backed by $93M from venture capitalists and angel investors.

Our vision is that businesses can use their video footage to improve not only security but also efficiency, safety, and customer experiences.

We call our guiding principles being a “SPOTAN”:

• Spend strategically, ensuring purpose in resource allocation.
• Push for progress, with a bias for action.
• Obsess over customers, focusing on their needs.
• Trust the team, fostering collaboration.
• Act as an owner, taking accountability.
• Never stop having fun, celebrating our achievements.

Spot AI was founded by three friends from Stanford in 2018. The company employs 51-200 individuals from diverse backgrounds. Its team culture is passionate, supportive, and optimistic about AI’s impact, with a strong focus on creating positive customer experiences.

Spot AI’s headquarters are in San Francisco, California, with hardware operations in Hayward, California, and sales in Sandy, Utah. The company also supports a remote-first approach, allowing all teams to work from anywhere. The culture values hustle, curiosity, impact, and strategic thinking.

We offer a range of benefits, including competitive compensation, generous paid parental leave, meaningful equity, comprehensive healthcare plans (often with little to no cost for employees and their dependents), self-managed time off, and 401k matching. We also provide company-paid short- and long-term disability plans and life insurance.

For sales roles, annual On-Target Earnings (OTE) can reach up to $280,000, with flexible base/commission splits and uncapped commissions paid monthly.
