Gabriel

Emergency response and threat coordination platform for active threat prevention insurance

Specialty Solutions Growth Series A

Overview

Gabriel is an emergency response and incident coordination platform for P&C carriers and specialty insurers seeking to underwrite active assailant and workplace violence risk. Founded in 2016 following the 2016 Sarona Market attack in Tel Aviv and the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, the company connects AI-powered detection technology -- cameras, sensors, and smart panic buttons -- with a centralized command dashboard and mass notification system to enable faster, coordinated response to active threats.

The platform is delivered as a SaaS solution with a mobile application, wearable devices, and a virtual command center. It integrates with existing security infrastructure (CCTV, access control), emergency dispatch networks via RapidSOS, and building management systems. AI-based threat detection identifies gunshots, breaking glass, and unauthorized access patterns while minimizing false alarms.

Gabriel has raised USD 19.1M across two Series A rounds, with investors including Qualcomm Ventures, Astella, Canary, BrokerTech Ventures, and the Israeli Insurtech Accelerator. The company was selected for Lloyd's Lab Cohort 10 and partners with specialty re/insurer Chaucer Group and crisis management firm Merrill Herzog to power an active assailant insurance product distributed through the Lloyd's marketplace.
