Voxel51 Raises $12.5M Series A to Bring Transparency and Clarity to Computer Vision Data
Voxel51, a data-centric machine learning software company, announced that it has raised a $12.5 million Series A funding round from Drive Capital, Top Harvest Capital, Shasta Ventures, and existing investors. The round follows the company’s $2.875M Seed round from eLab Ventures, ID Ventures, and the University of Michigan.
With more than 150,000 monthly active users, Voxel51’s open source technology empowers machine learning model builders to bring transparency and clarity to the datasets they use to build computer vision applications. The recent explosion of computer vision data—there are an estimated 45 billion cameras in the world today—creates a tremendous opportunity for machine learning products, but only if it can be properly organized, indexed, and labeled. Without infrastructure for building high-quality data pipelines, engineers are often forced to misallocate their talents wrangling data.
