About this episode

On today's episode of Tech Talks Daily Podcast, I am joined by Cody Coleman, the inspiring co-founder, and CEO of Coactive AI, a Cloud 100-recognized startup transforming how organizations analyze and search image and video data. Cody shares his remarkable personal journey, from humble beginnings to earning his Ph.D. at Stanford and leading a cutting-edge visual data analytics company.

Cody is also a passionate advocate for sustainable and ethical AI, working relentlessly to fight algorithmic bias in computer vision. He discusses his recent research in this area and shares exciting news about Coactive AI's $14 million funding round, led by Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer Venture Partners. We dive into how this investment will fuel the development of their visual content analytics platform and help refine their go-to-market strategy.

Discover how Coactive's platform is set to benefit both enterprises and startups by unlocking the hidden value in the world's images and videos. Cody also talks about their closed beta, featuring companies like Fandom, which aims to gather valuable feedback and make essential adjustments to the platform before its official launch.
