What Jido Maps does

We help teams that may or may not have machine learning expertise quickly turn their data into deployed computer vision models. Example applications include security camera monitoring, automating data entry, interpreting web scraped images, validated user photo inputs, augmented reality and mobile product scanning. If you have visual or scanned data that you wish your software could interpret at scale, we can turn around a first proof of concept in under a week. Reach out and see how computer vision can change your business.

Turn your data into a deployed computer vision model

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

We built a platform that lets teams without strong machine learning backgrounds quickly create and deploy computer vision models. Users give us their visual or scanned data, and we deliver a working model, often within a week. This fits use cases like security camera monitoring, automating data entry, or mobile product scanning.

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

We live in Berkeley and San Francisco, with part of the team remote. After YC, the company would be based where the team can best collaborate, likely San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our team is distributed between Berkeley, San Francisco, and remote. Being close to YC and other startups in SF after the program helps us access customers and talent while maintaining flexibility by supporting remote work.
