100-word summary
Gather AI just scored $40M in Series B funding led by Smith Point Capital—the firm of former Salesforce co-CEO Keith Block. The Pittsburgh startup, founded by Carnegie Mellon PhDs, uses off-the-shelf cameras and drones to monitor warehouse ops and feed data into management systems. With clients like Kwik Trip and Axon, plus a 2025 Nebius Vision AI award under their belt, Gather AI now has $74M total raised and a 60-person team. This could position them as the go-to AI infrastructure for logistics in an increasingly automated supply chain.
