Tailor Brands, a startup that automates parts of the branding and marketing process for small businesses, announced Thursday it has raised $50 million in Series C funding. GoDaddy led the round as a strategic partner and was joined by OurCrowd and existing investors Pitango Growth, Mangrove Capital Partners, Armat Group, Disruptive VC and Whip Media founder Richard Rosenblatt. Tailor Brands has now raised a total of $70 million since its inception in 2015. "GoDaddy is empowering everyday entrepreneurs around the world by providing all of the help and tools to succeed online," said Andrew Morbitzer, vice president of corporate development at GoDaddy, in a written statement. "We are excited to invest in Tailor Brands -- and its team -- as we believe in their vision. Their platform truly helps entrepreneurs start their business quickly and easily with AI-powered logo design and branding services."

Tailor Brands is an automated branding platform that helps small businesses create a brand identity. When asked what advice he'd give to world leaders, Elon Musk replied, "Implement a protocol to control the development of Artificial Intelligence." If left unchecked, he reasoned that machine learning technology would outgrow its developer and see it (us) as no longer an essential part of the process. And as few technologies are more progressive or disruptive in their advancement, he might have a point! But before ML pulls a terminator on us, it's shaking up the corporate landscape, unlocking once closed markets, leveling playing fields by providing innovative solutions to long-standing problems, and making it easier for the little guys to compete with the corporate goliaths.

The design industry is yet another area where AI is making huge strides. Just recently, an AI tool pulled from a database of dozens of patterns and colours to create 7 million unique packaging designs for Nutella. Let's take a closer look at how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of design. In addition to generating its own designs–as it did for Nutella–AI is the driving force behind modern web design. Artificial design intelligence (ADI) systems are democratising website development, generating functional, attractive websites from the bottom up.

Access to case studies expires six months after purchase date. Using proprietary artificial intelligence technology, startup Tailor Brands set out to democratize branding by allowing small businesses to create their brand identities by automatically generating logos in just minutes at minimal cost with no branding or design skills required. As it sets out to raise its Series B, the founders make some critical changes to their business model, moving to a subscription model and adding additional products and services to automate other parts of the branding and marketing process. Can algorithms, machine learning, and artificial intelligence help Tailor Brands outperform graphic designers and branding agencies in developing brand identities? And, can Tailor Brands differentiate itself from the many other logo generators popping up in the market?

Our society is transforming at an unbelievable pace today as the industries are being influenced by new-age technologies like machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We saw tech giant Microsoft unveil Xiaoice, an AI-bot that can place voice calls just like humans, gaming leader NVIDIA joining hands with Nuance to create an AI Marketplace for Diagnostic Imaging, and other big players leveraging the powerful and versatile technology that AI is. However, there are many innovative startups in the AI domain that the disrupting the industries too. Riminder is taking the recruitment process to a whole new level by simplifying and accelerating the hiring process to help recruitment companies find the right candidates easily. Riminder uses deep learning to rank millions of candidates who apply for jobs by comparing their resumes with employees that are currently working as well as others from different parts of the world that fit the job description.

Many people believed that modern technology will first replace the low wage jobs from the industries that are dependent on manual labor rather than intellectual work. However, the latest innovations in robotics and A.I. tend to contradict our previous beliefs: we are now entering a new era, of A.I. based design that hopefully, will change everything for the best. Until recently, computer generated design was regarded more as a sci-fi idea rather than a reality. The development of artificial intelligence was focused on other goals and nobody could have dreamed about it being capable of actually delivering something useful to mankind. Sure, we all have at least once admired beautiful fractals generated by computers but let's face it, they were not actually visual designs.
