The capability the startup provides is being able to put in a complex yet vague query like “the office party where Courtney sang the national anthem” and instantly get not just the video but the moment in the video where it happens. Most of our beta partners have tried these big companies’ so-called solutions and then came to us.”The company has raised a $5M seed round to take it from beta to market; Index Ventures led the round, with Radical Ventures, Expa and Techstars Seattle participating, plus angels including Stanford’s AI leader Fei-Fei Li, Scale AI CEO Alex Wang, Patreon CEO Jack Conte, and Oren Etzioni of AI2.
