We’re growing our computer vision engineering team and deepening our commercial footprint across the UK, European and US markets. Our platform is already a new benchmark for retail image recognition – this investment enables us to scale that impact globally."

"Unstructured data can be more analyzable, if AI is more accessible. At Instill AI we are committed to making this happen. We believe that machine learning and AI should be as easy to access as other off-the-shelf cloud services in the software industry today. This seed investment helps us speed up the development and strengthen the readiness of the VDP, bringing us one step closer to making the solution to this problem a reality."
— Ping-Lin Chang, CEO and Co-founder
