API embedding high-dimensional data like images
We are building an API that lets developers embed complex, high-dimensional data such as images into numerical vectors. This helps teams easily integrate machine learning features into their products without building embeddings themselves.
We are based in San Francisco, CA, and plan to continue operating from here after YC.
San Francisco is where we live and where our network in machine learning and startups is strongest, making it the most practical base for launching Basilica.
