What Peregrine.ai does

Peregrine.ai (legally Peregrine Technologies GmbH) is a Berlin-based AI company founded in 2019 that develops edge computer vision software for processing video locally on dashcams, body cameras, drones, and surveillance cameras. Its core platform, Peregrine Vision, runs multi-task AI models for object detection, tracking, depth estimation, and spatial mapping on low-power devices without cloud dependency, achieving inference in under 100ms per frame. The technology stack includes Visual SLAM capabilities, automatic GDPR-compliant anonymization at the edge, and an active learning flywheel that continuously improves model accuracy from live deployments using petabyte-scale anonymized video data.

The company's product portfolio spans core and adjacent offerings: Peregrine Vision (flagship edge video telematics software), Data Services (geolocation data generated from fleet vehicles, including ISA mapping and road infrastructure monitoring), Peregrine Labs (professional services unit for AI strategy, MVP development, and MLOps), Peregrine One (a proprietary Qualcomm SoC-based edge camera reference design launched in 2024), and 5-SAFE (an AI-driven school zone traffic safety system launched in 2024). Partner-branded products include Webfleet Video (launched September 2025 with Bridgestone's Webfleet platform) and the Linqo Video Telematics Solution (launched May 2025 with Linqo GmbH of the Ruptela Group). Notable government deployments include the City of Hamburg's Digital Road Condition Monitoring project covering 16,000 km of road network and the City of Landshut school zone safety deployment with T-Systems.

Peregrine.ai operates a multi-stream revenue model combining software licensing/subscription, hardware sales, data monetization, and professional services. Its go-to-market is primarily channel-driven, embedding software into fleet management platforms (Webfleet, Linqo) for OEM-style distribution via over-the-air updates to existing commercial vehicles, supplemented by direct enterprise sales and government contracts. Customer segments include commercial fleet operators, municipalities, insurance companies, smart city providers, and industrial manufacturers across Europe, with named customers and partners including Webfleet (Bridgestone), Linqo GmbH, City of Hamburg, HVV (Hamburger Verkehrsverbund), T-Systems, and City of Landshut. The company has grown from three co-founders (Dr. Steffen Heinrich, CEO; Dr. Naja von Schmude, CTO; Jorit Schmelzle, CPO) to an international team of over 20 across eight countries, with Forbes Next Billion-Dollar Startups 2024 recognition and active research collaborations with HPI, University of Bonn, TU Berlin, and Freie Universität Berlin.
