SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CB Insights today named Amplero to the prestigious AI 100, a select group of promising private companies working on groundbreaking artificial intelligence technology. CB Insights CEO and co-founder Anand Sanwal will reveal the full list of the second annual AI 100 companies at the A-ha! conference in San Francisco.
"Last year's AI 100 enjoyed amazing success in the year since earning this recognition. Fifty-five of them went onto raise additional funding nearing $2B and five were acquired."
"This year's list was culled from 1000+ applications and looks even more impressive. These are companies using artificial intelligence in industries from drug discovery and cybersecurity to robotics and legal tech. I'm happy that CB Insights is able to shine a light on the founders and companies that will revolutionize these industries and look forward to seeing what they do in 2018 and beyond," said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal.
"At Amplero, we believe that today's connected consumer deserves to feel known, understood, and respected by the brands they love. While the latest wave of AI innovation stands poised to fundamentally change the way businesses operate, we are essentially solving a problem as old as the first merchant transaction. How do you create meaningful, connected relationships between customers and brands?" said Amplero CEO Olly Downs, PhD. "Recognition from CB Insights, a data-obsessed firm that has caused disruption waves of its own in the world of research, further confirms the impact that Amplero's artificial intelligence marketing solution is already having on the brand-consumer relationship at major enterprises."
The CB Insights research team selected the AI 100 companies based on criteria, examining company-submitted data and the company's Mosaic Score. The Mosaic Score, based on CB Insights' National Science Foundation-funded algorithm, measures the overall health and growth potential of private companies. Through this evidence-based, statistically-driven approach, the Mosaic Score can help predict a company's momentum, market health, and financial viability.
Companies such as Zoox, Shield AI, Zest Finance, Dynamic Yield, Appier, and CognitiveScale joined Amplero in being recognized for their innovative technology in front of an audience of 400 senior innovation executives from around the world and news outlets including The Financial Times, CNBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, and the Washington Post.
Launched in 2016, Amplero's Artificial Intelligence Marketing (AIM) Platform enables marketers at customer-obsessed global brands such as Sprint, DoubleDown Interactive, and BECU, to deliver highly contextual, 1:1 customer experiences at scale. In August, the company announced that it had raised $17.5 Million in Series B funding, fueling its crusade to fundamentally transform how machines and humans work together to drastically improve the customer experience. This CB Insights honor comes on a wave of accolades this year, as Amplero was also recently recognized on the Constellation ShortList for Marketing Analytics Solutions, Geekwire's Seattle 10 and VentureBeat's "Top 5 Most Promising AI Technology."
