IntelliVid Announces $8.0 Million Series B Funding

Round Led by Intel Capital, Funds Will Accelerate Company's Growth Through Expanding Sales and Marketing Efforts and Enhancing Product Line

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 17, 2006--IntelliVid Corporation, the leader in intelligent video analysis solutions for retail loss prevention, today announced it has received $8 million in Series B funding, bringing the total investment in the company to over $18 million.

The round was led by Intel Capital, with participation from existing investors Flagship Ventures, Egan-Managed Capital and DFJ New England. IntelliVid is using this round of funding to intensify its sales and marketing efforts and accelerate the delivery of expanded features and functionality for its core product, Video Investigator.

IntelliVid enables retailers to leverage their existing video infrastructures to prevent shoplifting and enhance the shopping environment. By enabling retailers to make better use of their video assets, IntelliVid helps its customers reduce theft and increase profits.

"We consistently see a need for the intelligent video analysis capabilities in retail that IntelliVid provides," said Scott Darling, vice president Intel Capital. "The company's rapidly growing worldwide base of blue-chip retail customers speaks volumes about the importance of this solution. We're delighted to be working with IntelliVid."

"With theft losses comparable to profits in the retail industry, IntelliVid provides an extraordinary value proposition to retailers," said William Strecker, partner at Flagship Ventures and chairman of IntelliVid's board of directors. "We're very pleased Intel Capital has come aboard as the lead investor in this round of funding, which will enable the company to rapidly grow to the next level and continue to deliver its innovative solutions to retailers."

Mike Shanahan, managing partner of Egan-Managed Capital, said, "IntelliVid is rapidly proving its value in helping retailers with their loss prevention and operational efforts. It's clear why the company continues to attract so much interest both from the retail market and from a top-flight strategic investor like Intel Capital: solid technology behind a unique solution that is already proving itself more than capable of addressing the market's needs."

"Intel is a well-known force in every market it participates in, including, of course, retail," said Todd Hixon of DFJ New England. "We're excited that Intel Capital has joined with us and the other investors to build upon IntelliVid's early successes and help propel the company to even greater heights. There's no better team of investors for IntelliVid than this one."

Patrick Sobalvarro, president and CEO of IntelliVid, said, "Intel Capital is, quite simply, a great strategic investor for us, and it's particularly gratifying to have its support. Its breadth and depth in the retail space is unmatched, and its participation in this round validates our early success in this market. We look forward to building a relationship with Intel that extends far beyond a financial arrangement: building a strong partnership in technology innovation, in access to intellectual capital and in market penetration and growth. Coupled with the continued support and active involvement of our existing investors, Flagship Ventures, Egan-Managed Capital, and DFJ New England, it is clear that IntelliVid is on track for delivering its leading-edge solutions to a growing base of retail customers."
