Result 99% negative...

A solid group of talent, welcome to the club. I am interested to see where the "deep learning" start-ups end up in ten years time with such a wide-array of problem sets and industries.

Am I the only person who is worried that AI start-up companies are going to use AI to insert "deep learning" into every pitch deck possible?

Having spoken to Sven a few times, I think they are targeting industries/applications more specific than their website appears :)

If anything, I would consider this to be a competitor to Context Relevant and Alchemy API instead of Clarifai.
