The world we live in is visual—it’s in every aspect of our lives, from the way we work and communicate to how we shop and enjoy entertainment. Yet, understanding visual data has been elusive, expensive, and tedious for many businesses for far too long. It’s been previously unachievable to intelligently search and analyze large volumes of unstructured visual content without spending countless hours labeling, tagging, or adding metadata to images and video, resulting in lost time and productivity. We are solving this problem at scale. Our mission is to transform how companies understand and analyze their visual content, turning data from a tax to an asset. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that we’re accelerating our progress toward this vision with $30 million in Series B funding! 🎉 We’re excited to continue helping teams navigate their unstructured content and bring the power of analytics to images and video.
