❓️ What is Pano?

Pano creates detection devices to find threats, confirm fires and distribute information to responders at speeds not possible before. Pano equips its detection devices with enhanced visual equipment and AI-supported data analysis. Each Pano Station automatically scans a 360 degree area and uses AI to recognize and signal fire activity within 15 miles.

🤹 Who is the founder?

  1. Sonia Kastner (Founder & CEO): ex-VP of Supply Chain at PAX

💰️ More about the funding round:

Pano raises a $17 million Series A extension to its original $20 million Series A round led by Initialized Capital. This extension was led by Valor Equity Partners and saw participation from Salesforce Ventures, Kevin Mahaffey, Congruent Ventures, January Ventures, T-Mobile Ventures, Convective Capital, 5G Open Innovation Lab and Jade Van Doren.

“If the VC market hadn’t taken a downturn, we would have raised a Series B this year. But there’s been a pullback in the venture capital funding market."

Sonia Kastner, CEO at Pano
