We just raised our seed from @a16z American Dynamism fund and Seven Stars Capital to build Longeye: AI that solves crimes in hours, not months.
This became personal when I woke up to burglars running out my door, laughing.
Police came but had no capacity to investigate:
@Longeye_ai just raised a $20M Series A, led by @N47capital with @a16z’s American Dynamism practice. 50+ justice agencies. 2,300+ investigations. A more accountable world.
Thanks @Inc. Magazine for breaking the news. Links below.
The FBI just posted the largest one-year drop in violent crime since 1936. Same report: agencies cleared 47.4% of violent crimes, 17.4% of property crimes.
Nobody experiences a crime rate. They experience whether their case got worked. Closing that gap is the job now.
New in Forbes. Public safety procurement still runs on cycles built for buying patrol cars. A state contract for an investigative tool can take 18 months to award. Thousands of cases will come and go by then for a busy agency. It’s our duty to hurry.

The team is heading to Fort Worth for the IACP Technology Conference, May 19-21.
@Longeye_ai has processed over 50 million files so far this year for agencies across the country and we want to help you take on the biggest, nastiest grunt work your detectives have been dreading.
Book a demo ahead of the conference with the link in comments or just stop by the booth. Don't leave without your pair of the Longeye shades 😎

A milestone for our video capability this month.
@Longeye_ai's audio has always been strong. One question across hundreds of hours of jail calls, and the exact moment that matters comes back cited and ready for the case file.
Now the same is true for video.
This sits alongside everything else Longeye already powers through: jail calls, warrant returns, cell tower records, photos, and case documents. One workspace, every type of evidence.
It's solving cases for our users today. Reach out at Longeye.com and it will go to work for you as well.
Full rundown of what shipped this month: longeye.com/blog/product-upd…
The @washingtonpost covered what we're building at @Longeye_ai.
35 agencies. 25 million files processed. 34 years of detective work compressed into a few hours.
Justice AI is here, it's safe, and it's making a difference in the communities leaning in.
None of that happens without pioneers willing to innovate in public.
Thank you to Detective Lauren Cunningham (OKC PD), Jordan Sparks (Oklahoma DOC), Marc Caudel, Chief Lowe (Redmond PD), and Chief Lane (Hawthorne PD) for speaking openly about what this work truly looks like.
Grateful to The Washington Post for asking the hard questions too.
We welcome the scrutiny. Loving our way through the hard conversations is how trust gets built in this space.

@sdut just published a story about us and the reporter didn't just cover the technology.
She dug into the clearance rates. What she found is exactly why we exist.
In San Diego last year:
83% of sexual assaults went unsolved.
33% of kidnappings.
15% of murders.
This is not a manpower problem. It's a data problem. @Longeye_ai solves it.
There is promise here. And yes, there is peril.
We take both seriously.

Silicon Valley is sleeping on a $7 trillion market because of a belief that gets repeated enough it starts to feel like fact.
I've heard it from investors. From founders. From people I respect.
Government procurement takes too long. The markets are too fragmented. The TAM math doesn't work. Move on.
From all of us at Longeye, "no."

Police Chief Magazine just featured @Longeye_ai on how AI is transforming investigations.
The opening scene: a detective drowning in PDFs, bulletins, and alerts. Somewhere in that chaos is the clue that cracks the case.
This is modern policing.
We're heading for a breaking point where evidence load will overwhelm the system.
Agencies that adopt smart AI now will keep pace and keep trust.
This isn't about replacing detectives. It's about restoring their ability to actually investigate.
