Voxel Raises $44M in Series B Funding to Transform Workplace Safety with its AI-Powered Platform
Backed by 147% year-over-year growth and adoption by Fortune 500 companies, Voxel is scaling its real-time safety platform across high-risk industries.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Voxel, the AI company revolutionizing workplace safety and risk, today announced it has raised $44 million in Series B funding led by NewRoad Capital Partners with participation from current investors Eclipse, Rite Hite, Tokio Marine, and MTech as well as HG Ventures and Whitestone. This round brings the company's total funding of $61 million to date. Voxel will use the funding to accelerate R&D and deepen its AI capabilities—enhancing real-time computer vision models and expanding data insights. The company will also invest in growing its team of industry experts to ensure Voxel's customers don't just benefit from cutting-edge AI solutions, but also decades of applied experience in industrial environments.
Despite most companies having a heavy focus on improving safety, 2.78M workerslose their lives every year to work-related incidents globally—a stark reminder that traditional safety approaches fall short. Voxel helps organizations prevent accidents before they happen by identifying potential hazards and unsafe behaviors in real-time, enabling supervisors and safety managers to take immediate action. By integrating directly with existing security cameras to detect unsafe behaviors and operational inefficiencies autonomously, Voxel makes proactive prevention possible at scale.
'We're developing AI to support the workers performing demanding jobs day in and day out—on warehouse floors, in factories, in ports–really any industrial environment,' said Vernon O'Donnell, CEO of Voxel. 'Leaders don't need more dashboards or things to do on a daily basis: They need tools that drive action, improve training, and keep teams protected in a way that is part of their daily workflow. Our deep commitment to understanding our customers' operations is why they see up to an 80% reduction in high-risk behaviors just months after deployment.'
Deployed by companies like Dick's Sporting Goods, Americold, AGI, Port of Virginia, and Berry Global, Voxel is becoming the trusted partner for leading enterprises across logistics, retail, warehousing, and manufacturing. Beyond best-in-class AI, Voxel's safety platform consolidates AI-generated insights, giving teams clear visibility into emerging risks. This allows safety, operations, and HR professionals to address issues before they result in injuries—fundamentally shifting workplace safety from reactive response to proactive prevention.
Voxel's growth is supported by strong performance across key areas of the business:
'Voxel is solving a problem every operator understands—how to keep people safe while running complex, high-velocity environments,' said Chris Sultemeier, Operating Partner at NewRoad Capital Partners and former EVP of Logistics at Walmart. 'Their platform brings real-time visibility to the places it's been missing for too long. The team has built something that works, and the market is ready for it.'
'Voxel has fundamentally shifted how we think about safety and operations. With real-time insights, we're not just reacting to incidents—we're preventing them. It's helped us build a stronger safety culture while driving meaningful efficiency gains. Voxel isn't just a vendor—they're our AI partner, and our partner for the future,' said Drew Kofeldt, Chief Safety Officer, AGI.
'Voxel brings the kind of proactive insight our clients have been looking for with actionable data that helps prevent losses, strengthens safety programs, and ultimately reduces the total cost of risk,' said James D'Errico, CSP, National Leader, Risk Control at Gallagher.

Weiner wars — Employee at popular meat company steals its secret recipe and then goes to work for competitor
So that's how the sausage is made. A former employee at Hormel Foods, a Fortune 500 packaged meat company, left with top-secret sausage recipes and market information — and then joined its regional competitor Johnsonville, a new federal lawsuit alleges. The stew started after longtime Hormel employee Brett Sims landed the role of Johnsonville's chief supply chain officer in June 2023, and then allegedly began poaching Hormel employees to also join the staff at the sausage company, based in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, which was in violation of his non-solicitation agreement. Sims brought in his former Hormel co-worker Jeremy Rummel this spring, who left Hormel after 25 years, as per The Star Tribune. Before he broke the news to Hormel that he was about to work for its competitor, Rummel allegedly sent 'product formulas, processing procedures, acquisition-target information and marketing-strategy information' to his personal email address. Hormel Foods was founded 130 years ago. Getty Images 'Rummel was attempting to take Hormel's confidential business information and trade secrets to Johnsonville for the express purpose of exploiting the information for Johnsonville's benefit and to Hormel's detriment,' the suit said. After Hormel confronted Rummel, he fessed up to emailing himself the confidential information and then promptly headed to Sims' house 'with the intent to share the details of his interview with Hormel and develop a plan to protect his new role at Johnsonville,' according to the lawsuit. Hormel is behind brands like Spam, Skippy and Planters. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Hormel, which was founded 130 years ago and is also behind brands like Skippy, Spam and Planters, is accusing Johnsonville and the two ex-employees of conspiring to 'unlawfully obtain Hormel's trade secrets.' 'The sausage market is increasingly competitive, and improper use of confidential, proprietary and trade-secret information, or wrongful competition or solicitation, could cause a manufacturer significant competitive economic disadvantage,' the suit continued. To make matters worse, when Johnsonville was sent a letter from Hormel 'outlining Sims' and Rummel's violations of their agreements, detailing their unlawful behavior and asking for a number of assurances,' the company did not cooperate, the suit claims. Sims and Rummel did not immediately respond to the Star Tribune's email, nor did an attorney named in the lawsuit.

Hong Kong Airlines Celebrates Inaugural Flight to Sydney
Offering Travellers More Direct Flight Options to Australia HONG KONG, June 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hong Kong Airlines' inaugural flight between Hong Kong and Sydney, Australia, departed yesterday, making it the second local airline to operate this route and providing greater travel options for business, leisure, and transit passengers. To mark this new milestone in its network expansion, Hong Kong Airlines held celebratory events at both Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and Sydney Airport (SYD). Prior to departure, a launch ceremony was held at the boarding gate of the HKIA. The event was attended by distinguished guests, including Mr Jeff Sun, President of Hong Kong Airlines; Mr Ian McGraw from the Australian Consulate-General in Hong Kong; Ms Carmen Tam and Ms Vivien Yuen from Tourism Australia; Ms Jennifer Tung from Destination New South Wales; and Mr Ricky Chong from Airport Authority Hong Kong. The guests interacted with passengers and presented them with bespoke souvenirs to commemorate the historic occasion. During the event, Hong Kong Airlines President Mr Jeff Sun stated: "As a full-service local carrier, the launch of our Sydney service marks a significant step in our transformation to an international airline. Sydney is not only a popular destination for leisure and business travel but also one of Australia's most vital economic hubs. The expansion of the bilateral traffic rights agreement allows us to offer more choice to travellers in both cities, strengthening the connection between them." He added, "While Hong Kong Airlines may be a younger brand in the mature Australian market, we are endeavouring in our commitment to providing quality service. We operate this route with our Airbus A330 aircraft, featuring comfortable business and economy class cabins, and strive to deliver a passenger-centric in-flight experience through attentive service and fine dining for our long-haul customers." Sydney Airport CEO Mr Scott Charlton said: "We're proud to welcome Hong Kong Airlines to Sydney as our 52nd airline partner with its strong reputation for service excellence, efficiency and value. This inaugural service comes on the back of the first expansion in bilateral air traffic rights between Australia and Hong Kong in 19 years and we thank the Albanese Federal Government for its role in enabling this important agreement, which reflects the strength of our longstanding cultural and economic ties." NSW Minister for Jobs and Tourism Steve Kamper, said: "Hong Kong is a priority international market for NSW, with incoming travellers contributing substantially to the NSW visitor economy. The Minns Labor Government has made it very clear; we want to grow our visitor economy and the best way to do this is by increasing airline capacity and unlocking new international markets for NSW. We've set our sights on increasing the state's aviation capacity by 8.5 million seats, and this new Hong Kong route will complement other new routes we're securing as we work towards landing this goal." Mr Wang Yu, Consul General of People's Republic of China (Sydney), said: "As the second Hong Kong-based airline to operate the Hong Kong–Sydney route, Hong Kong Airlines not only provides a convenient new option for traveling between China and Australia, but also contributes to enhanced exchanges among students, tourists, business professionals and friends from all walks of life. This new service will strengthen Hong Kong and Sydney's role as vital gateways for the flow of people and goods, injecting fresh momentum into the economic and cultural ties between China and Australia. Its launch will also attract more international travelers to transit through Hong Kong or Sydney, further strengthening both cities' positions as global aviation hubs and creating new opportunities for trade and investment. Looking ahead, the Consulate-General of China in Sydney will continue to encourage and support airlines from both China and Australia in restoring or launching new routes based on the principle of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. We believe that Hong Kong Airlines will continuously enhance its service quality and showcase a good corporate image." Also in attendance at the Sydney welcome ceremony were representatives from the Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China in Sydney, Destination NSW and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Sydney). Exclusive Lounge Access for Connecting Passengers To celebrate the launch of the new service, passengers travelling on this route and transit at Hong Kong for selected Hong Kong Airlines flights* to Vancouver, Bali, Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Shanghai (Pudong), Haikou, or Sanya, between 20 June and 31 October 2025, will receive complimentary access to the airline's flagship lounge "Club Autus" at Hong Kong International Airport. *Please click here for the relevant terms and conditions. Expanding Route Network The launch of the Sydney service indicates Hong Kong Airlines' overarching strategy for its network expansion. Coupled with the various significant destinations that have been inaugurated or reinstated since the start of the year, including Gold Coast in Australia, Vancouver in Canada, and Hulunbuir in Inner Mongolia of mainland China, the airline has cultivated a more extensive and diversified route map. This further underscores Hong Kong Airlines' commitment and contribution to the aviation industry's recovery and long-term development. In addition to the new routes, the Company also increased the frequency of services on multiple routes to cater to the summer travel demand. This includes the resumption of seasonal flights to the Maldives and an increase in flights to Da Nang to two per day. Additionally, flights to Shanghai Pudong will be increased to four per day, while services to Hangzhou and Nanjing will become twice day. The variety of flight times available throughout the day provides business, leisure, and transit passengers with the flexibility to plan their itineraries.
