Since the beginning of the millennium more than 200.000 people have died and more than 285 Billion dollars were spent because of this problem. This happens frequently because security infrastructure is still 100% monitored by humans.The usual scenario is having one person looking to dozens of tiny screens to detect threats or suspicious behaviors. Yes, that’s how security systems look like in 2017. We are not secure, because humans can’t do a proper analysis of what’s happening in real-time, despite the existence of advance monitoring infrastructure. Heptasense is a cloud-based platform that unlocks the full potential of security cameras to improve security, management, sales and create better customer profiles. Companies can use Heptasense to recognize hand gestures, track people, create heat maps of motion in a space, interaction maps and recognize Human behavior (suspicious behavior, running, smoking, eating, falling, stealing) and physical metrics (age, gender, size). Such information could be used for real-time decision making or be organized in a dashboard owned by the company. | | Pre-Seed | Jun 01, 2018 | | | Pitaya | Pitaya provides a hospitality operating system for a new breed of hotels. | | Seed | Jun 01, 2018 | | | Trendiamo | Our solution to personalize and "humanize"​ e-commerce to a level that you only find in good offline stores is a user interaction based plug-in, completely customizable, that allows you to bring real human connection to your website and guide your customers through your supply.Tailored by our tech team, ready to fit many needs of alltypes and sizes of brands, we provide that tool allowing them to systematically integrate sellers and promoters on their website to bring e-com to a new level. | | Seed | Jun 01, 2018 | | 10 of 52 investments shown. ## Co-investors - [Portugal Ventures](https://shizune.co/investors/profile/portugal-ventures) — VC Fund, 1 deal together - [Rising Ventures](https://shizune.co/investors/profile/rising-ventures) — VC Fund, 1 deal together - [Seedrs](https://shizune.co/investors/profile/seedrs) — VC Fund, 1 deal together ## Similar investors ### Similar stage - [Antler](https://shizune.co/investors/profile/antler-be9c) — VC Fund - [Alumni Ventures](https://shizune.co/investors/profile/alumni-ventures-group) — VC Fund - [Right Side Capital Management](https://shizune.co/investors/profile/right-side-capital-management) — VC Fund ## FAQ ### What does Startup Lisboa invest in?
