Peregrine (peregrine.io), a San Francisco-based real-time data integration and visualization platform for public safety agencies, has raised $250 million in Series D funding led by existing investors including Fifth Down Capital and Sequoia Capital. The platform ingests data from CAD, RMS, body cameras and other systems into a unified operational view with AI assistance. The capital will fuel expansion into federal, enterprise and international markets.
World Cup Deployments Accelerate Adoption
The timing coincides with high-profile deployments. Peregrine is powering fusion centers for 8 of 11 U.S. cities hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Flock Safety raised $275 million in its Series F in March 2025, while RapidSOS secured a $100 million round in November 2025. Peregrine's full-stack integration approach addresses fragmented agency data rather than adding new sensors or hardware.
Siloed Systems Delay Critical Responses
Public safety agencies manage data across dozens of legacy systems including computer-aided dispatch, records management and jail management software. Officers lose hours switching between platforms during investigations. The public safety analytics market stands at $14.6 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach $52.2 billion by 2033, according to Coherent Market Insights.
Forward-Deployed Engineers Build Context
Peregrine embeds engineers directly with client agencies to map workflows before deployment. This produces a semantic layer that unifies existing data sources while preserving agency ownership. The platform recently added Peregrine Assistant, an AI tool that answers natural-language queries with citations and access controls. Unlike surveillance-focused competitors, Peregrine does not collect or train on customer data.

Existing Investors Double Down at $6.8B Valuation
The round was led by returning backers including Sequoia Capital and Fifth Down Capital, signaling continued conviction in govtech AI. The company moved from a $2.5 billion valuation in its March 2025 Series C to $6.8 billion in just 15 months. Total funding now exceeds $470 million.
$14.6B Market Draws Broader Competition
The public safety analytics market is expanding at a 20 percent CAGR through 2033. Dataminr raised over $1.1 billion at a $4.1 billion valuation. Public companies such as Axon and Motorola Solutions also compete in adjacent layers. Peregrine's differentiation rests on rapid 12-week deployments and measurable outcomes within 90 days across 400 agencies serving 125 million people.
Hiring Signals International Push
Peregrine opened offices in Toronto and London and is recruiting deployment strategists in those cities plus San Francisco, New York and Washington DC. The company expects to serve nearly 1,000 cities by the end of 2026 while expanding beyond state and local government into federal and private-sector customers.
