What Dragoneye does

Dragoneye helps devs build their custom video detection models in less than 5 minutes. These models can then be used to power apps and features that use images and videos.

Custom video detection models in 5 minutes

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a platform that lets developers create custom video detection models without any manual annotation or machine learning expertise. Users upload videos, and within five minutes, they get a working model ready to power features that analyze images and videos. We handle data labeling and model training automatically, cutting out the main bottlenecks in video AI.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York City and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York has a strong engineering scene and diverse industries that need video analysis tools. It's our home base and where we have connections, so it makes sense to stay here rather than relocating.
