Build better computer vision models by building better datasets
We build a platform that helps robotics and automotive companies label their multi-sensor data, like images and point clouds, for training and validating AI models. Our tool streamlines the annotation workflow so customers can build high-quality datasets faster, which speeds up developing autonomy in drones, delivery robots, and self-driving cars.
We live in Brussels, Belgium, with a remote-first team distributed around. After YC, we plan to remain remote-first with the company legally based where it fits operationally.
Being remote-first lets us tap into the best talent globally and support customers in multiple regions. Brussels is a good base due to our location and network but we're flexible post-YC.
