Kinesense, a Dublin-based start-up that has developed CCTV video retrieval and analysis solutions for the surveillance and security markets, has secured a €620,000 syndicated investment to focus on its international growth strategy. Kernel Capital led the syndicated investment via the Bank of Ireland Seed and Early Stage Equity Fund, with the remainder of the funds being provided by BES and angel investors.
