If you’re a SRE who’s sick of babying legacy systems and midnight pager hell, this is it.

This isn’t maintenance.

This is building the backbone of a product that defines a new category.

About Us

We’re a venture-backed startup (Blackbird, Icehouse Ventures, K1W1) building security technology to keep communities safe. Our platform processes millions of IoT signals each week, from cameras, door access, and sensors, applying AI models like object detection and LLMs to surface only what matters.

At Watchful, we have cracked the hardest part: automating the scrubbing of endless video feeds so operators only see what matters. Now we are tackling the final step, automating the response itself.
