IntelliVid Announces Funding

Company Offers Groundbreaking Intelligent Video Analysis Solutions for Retail Loss Prevention

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2005--IntelliVid Corporation, the leader in Intelligent Video Analysis solutions for retail loss prevention, today announced it has received $4 million in follow-on funding from founding investor Flagship Ventures, and from Egan-Managed Capital, and DFJ New England. IntelliVid is using the funding to accelerate its marketing and development efforts in support of its recently released Video Investigator product.

IntelliVid enables retailers to use video in ways never before possible to enhance profits, prevent loss and create a safer environment for their employees and customers. The company is addressing a critical market need. The retail industry suffers from "shrinkage" of over $33 billion each year according to industry surveys. To combat these losses, many retailers have made large investments in Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and recorders for loss prevention and security purposes. However, they have found it very difficult to effectively use the enormous volume of video information they collect. IntelliVid recognized that retail loss prevention professionals could benefit greatly from the ability to use their video assets efficiently and productively to reduce theft and increase profits.

"IntelliVid's Video Investigator product offers retailers a host of capabilities for loss prevention that they never had before - tracking people, monitoring assets, managing investigations, and more - and the need is tremendous," said William Strecker, Partner at Flagship Ventures and Chairman of IntelliVid's Board of Directors. "IntelliVid is poised to dominate a large market and we are pleased to participate in this round of funding."

Mike Shanahan, Managing Partner of Egan-Managed Capital, said, "IntelliVid is leading the market with a whole new approach to CCTV technology, which will dramatically curtail losses in the retail industry. This is an exciting breakthrough that will, quite literally, change the way retailing views loss prevention."

Dr. Patrick Sobalvarro, President and CEO of IntelliVid, added, "IntelliVid is already being recognized as the leader in Intelligent Video Analysis for retail loss prevention, and we have only just begun to capitalize on our video analysis capabilities. We're gratified that such prominent firms as Flagship Ventures, Egan-Managed Capital, and DFJ New England recognize IntelliVid's potential."
