Mindtech Global, developer of the world’s leading platform for the creation of synthetic training data for AI vision systems, has announced a strategic investment round led by Appen, the global leader in data for the AI Lifecycle.
This new investment round, including participation from Appen and existing Mindtech investors, follows a $3.25 million funding round in July 2021 and will be used to support the company’s rapid growth.
In addition to the investment, Appen and Mindtech have formed a commercial partnership to provide a range of real and synthetic images and associated data and metadata annotation services to the market. Appen’s leadership in labelling real-world data combined with Mindtech’s end-to-end platform for the creation and management of synthetic data will accelerate the development of more accurate AI systems.
Mindtech’s platform, Chameleon, is highly complementary to Appen’s existing data and annotation services. Chameleon’s ‘no-code’ platform is designed for the creation and automated annotation of synthetic data to train human-to-human and human-to-world AI applications. Using Chameleon is more than 50 times faster than sourcing and annotating ‘real-world’ data.
