Accepted Answer

We have accelerated over 40 companies across every industry. Here are some examples to give you confidence. Studiobox: We developed a Web App and MacOS desktop app to help professional video teams record, stream, and share 4K video with anyone. Video teams use the platform to conduct multi-cam interviews, podcasts, panels, or courses. The real-time nature of the product was engineered with extreme sophistication with WebRTC and powered by Dolby.io. The technology we built is used with enterprise clients like Netflix, Masterclass, and The John Legend Foundation. DIG Labs: We created a visual AI engine that helps Veterinarians and pet owners monitor their pet’s health in between appointments. Snap a picture or video, and get real-time insights on pet health across 19 different concerns powered by 19 different AI models. Model accuracy tops 90% in most cases. The AI engine is deployed over the cloud, and processes over 3K requests per week. By design, DIG Labs is now able to build and productionize Machine Learning models in days, instead of weeks or months.
