Pimloc gets $1.8M for its AI-based visual search and redaction tool – TechCrunch
U.K.-based Pimloc has closed a £1.4 million ( $1.8 million) seed funding round led by Amadeus Capital Partners. Existing investor Speedinvest and other unnamed shareholders also participated in the round. The 2016-founded computer vision startup launched a AI-powered photo classifier service called Pholio in 2017 -- pitching the service as a way for smartphone users to reclaim agency over their digital memories without having to hand over their data to cloud giants like Google. It has since pivoted to position Pholio as a "specialist search and discovery platform" for large image and video collections and live streams (such as those owned by art galleries or broadcasters) -- and also launched a second tool powered by its deep learning platform. This product, Secure Redact, offers privacy-focused content moderation tools -- enabling its users to find and redact personal data in visual content.
