Dublin AI start-up Artomatix raises €2.1m in seed round

Artomatix founder Eric Risser's idea to use AI to create 3D worlds is not so crazy after all. Dublin artificial intelligence (AI) company Artomatix has raised €2.1m in a seed round. It is still the start of the journey for founder Dr Eric Risser as his company makes headway in enabling movie houses and games companies to create immersive 3D worlds. "No, we have no money for your weird AI arts stuff," Risser was told by a professor when he was a computer science student at Columbia University. He persevered, completed his PhD at Trinity College Dublin instead, and started a company.
