Deep-Learning Startup Leverages Purpose-Built Algorithms to Go Mobile With AI
On a mission to create safer communities, companies, and environments, Vintra uses artificial intelligence to augment the established surveillance systems deployed to protect the spaces where people work, learn, and travel. Vintra works with private companies, higher education, and law enforcement to transform visual data from any camera — including mobile sources like drones and dash cams — into actionable, tailored and trusted intelligence with proprietary deep learning algorithms. Backed by investors including Bonfire Ventures, Vertex Ventures and London Venture Partners, Vintra has raised $4.8 million to date.
Founded in 2016 by entrepreneur Brent Boekestein and leading computer vision experts, Dr. Ariel Amato and Dr. Angel Sappa, Vintra saw a critical need developing with the rise of security systems and proliferation of cameras, including mobile surveillance cameras that are burgeoning in use. As the use of surveillance and security cameras grows, the amount of data collected per year requires billions of hours of manual interpretation if done by human operators.
