Vizzia Secures €30M in Series B Funding for Video Surveillance Solutions in Paris

Some startups chase clicks. Others chase contracts. Vizzia chases something less glamorous and a lot more real: the trash nobody wants to talk about and the public safety everybody depends on.

In September 2021, Katrin de Proyart and Alexandre Leboucher looked at Europe’s illegal dumping problem and saw more than garbage bags in the bushes. They saw blind spots. 2 HEC and Polytechnique grads with a background in image analysis do not usually wake up and say, let us build cameras for cleaner streets. But that is exactly what happened. Not for optics. For outcomes.

Fast forward to February 2026. Vizzia locks in a $30M Series B. Base10 Partners leads the round. Headline, who led the seed, doubles down. SISTAFUND leans in again. When serious capital keeps returning to the table, it is rarely about hype. It is about signal.

That brings total funding to roughly $50M. Translation: the market believes that sovereign, AI powered, 4G and 5G connected video infrastructure for municipalities is not a side quest. It is infrastructure. The kind that installs in hours, not months. The kind that works without tearing up streets for fiber. The kind that helps local authorities move from shrugging at fly tipping to issuing fines backed by evidence.

More than 250 local authorities are already equipped. Over 500 devices deployed. 110,000 events handled in 12 months. In Garges lès Gonesse alone, around 40 fines in a year totaling nearly $19.5K. Up to 80% reduction in illegal dumping within 6 months in partner territories. 90% in some cases. And a 97% renewal rate. Cities do not renew contracts out of politeness.

Vizzia Propreté tackles illegal dumping head on. Vizzia Sûreté strengthens everyday urban safety. Same backbone. Same sovereign hosting in France. Same compliance with European regulations. This is not generic CCTV with a new logo slapped on it. It is hardware, AI enhanced software, legal process and operational support wrapped into 1 system designed for European municipalities who cannot afford experiments.

Now the company is stepping into the United Kingdom and Italy, with plans to grow from roughly 100 employees to about 250, including around 150 hires in 2026. That is not incremental. That is conviction.

Congratulations to Katrin de Proyart, Co founder and CEO, and Alexandre Leboucher, Co founder and CTPO, for building a company that makes clean streets a measurable metric. Respect to Base10 Partners, Headline and SISTAFUND for backing a sovereign public safety platform that understands Europe is not a beta test.

There is something poetic about turning waste into data and data into accountability. In a world obsessed with virtual problems, Vizzia is solving one you can smell. And the cities paying attention are not just buying cameras. They are buying control over their own streets.
