viAct

Every jobsite wants to be safer, smarter, and more sustainable. But for too long, safety has meant reacting after the fact—inspections after incidents, compliance after citations, change after crisis. The tools were siloed. The data, stale. The approach? Outdated. Not anymore! Today, we’re beyond excited (and just a little bit hyped) to announce our $7.3M Series A funding, led by VentureWave Capital, with awesome backing from Singtel Innov8, Korea Investment Partners, and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Entrepreneurship Investment Fund. This round facilitated by Venturebeam marks one of the most significant Series A impact AI investments in workplace safety tech and we’re just getting started. Since its inception in 2016; viAct is building the next-gen AI-powered ecosystem where computer vision, IoT, Edge and Generative AI come together to create job sites that can think, react, and protect in real time. This has been aimed at transforming safety from a checkbox into a strategic advantage that fuels productivity in operations, sustainability in process and psychological well-being amongst workforce. Already, we’re live on 350+ complex industrial jobsites around the world. 300+ general contractors have brought us into their ops. And our end users? They have saved over $100 billion annually, preventing accidents and related downtime. That’s a lot of concrete, and a lot of trust. With this fundraising; we definitely are thinking big! We plan to dive deep into Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, where smart safety is more needed than ever. We plan hiring the dream team with AI nerds, safety geeks, sustainability champs. And we’re pushing our tech into new dimensions of performance and purpose under our umbrella motto " #AIforGood ". If you believe safety should be strategic—not just reactive—viAct is the call to action. To our customers—you are our compass. Your trust and feedback have helped us turn job sites into smart, responsive environments. You didn’t just use viAct—you co-built it with us. To our investors—you are our catalysts. Thank you for believing that safety can be both impactful and scalable. Your support pushes us to go further, faster, and with purpose. Orbit Startups, Vectr Ventures, Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, Gobi Partners, HKAI Lab, HKSTP - Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation, Artesian (Alternative Investments) and ParticleX. To our community—you are our spark. Your curiosity, creativity, and commitment to innovation have made viAct more than a platform—you’ve made it a movement. Further, Let’s make sure every worker returns home safe, every single day. Let’s build a future where high-risk doesn’t mean high-hazard. Let’s lead the AI-powered safety revolution.
