Labelbox

How We Started

Our CEO was building an annotation platform at Planet Labs where they were spending millions of dollars building in house infrastructure to develop machine learning models. He realized there was no external tooling allowing companies to quickly label, manage, and collaborate on training data.

Labelbox recently turned two years old and has already raised 14 million dollars and is helping hundreds of companies build visual intelligence.

What We Believe

We believe that AI has the power to transform every aspect of our lives -- from healthcare to agriculture. The exponential impact of artificial intelligence will mean mammograms can happen quickly and cheaply, irrespective of the limited number of radiologists there are in the world, and growers will know the instant that disease hits their farm without even being there.

At Labelbox, we’re building a platform to accelerate the development of this future. Rather than requiring companies to create their own expensive and incomplete homegrown tools, we’ve created a training data platform that acts as a central hub for humans to interface with AI. When humans have better ways to input and manage data, machines have better ways to learn.

Funding

We are backed by some of the finest people in the Silicon Valley who work at Andreessen Horowitz, Gradient Ventures (Google's AI fund), Kleiner Perkins and First Round Capital.
