The Beginning of a New Era

fastdup Takes Flight
Our founders Dr. Danny Bickson and Dr. Amir Alush, experts in computer vision and deep learning, recognized the challenges in processing, understanding, managing and extracting useful insights from large-scale, unstructured visual data. They decided to build a data management solution that will overcome the data chaos and empower data and AI teams to unlock the value of visual data.
Visual Layer is Born
With the validation of Fastdup, we knew we were onto something big. Together with Prof. Carlos Guestrin, a leading AI researcher from Stanford, Danny and Amir founded Visual Layer. Our mission? To build One Centralized AI Platform for Visual Data Management. And to fuel this vision, we secured a $7.5 million Seed Round led by Madrona and Insight Partners.
