Synthetaic raises $15M for advanced AI image classification and detection - SiliconANGLE

Feb 06, 2024 - siliconangle.com
Synthetaic Inc., an AI solutions provider, has raised $15 million in a funding round co-led by Lupa Systems and TitletownTech. The funds will be used to accelerate the development and commercialization of its platform for image data classification and detection. The Series B funding follows a $13 million Series A round in March 2022, bringing the company's total raised to $32.5 million. Other investors in the round included IBM Ventures and military contractor Booz Allen Hamilton.

The company's technology, Rapid Automatic Image Categorization (RAIC), can automate the analysis of large unstructured datasets of raw images and video, enabling organizations to train and deploy AI models faster. The technology has been used in real-world scenarios, such as tracking a suspected Chinese spy balloon using geospatial satellite data and visual imagery. Synthetaic has also partnered with Microsoft Corp. for access to cloud graphical processing power and with Planet Labs PBC for daily insights and data.
