Why bet on Computer Vision and Safari AI?

• Huge opportunity hiding in plain sight: leveraging already-installed cameras to automate and real-time action on operational data
• Already the market leader in enterprise CV by working with industry leaders with billions in revenue
• Large chasm between customer knowledge and market availability, i.e. customers don't know what is available in the market...yet.
• Early leader in computer vision; everyone is small and unbranded (i.e. no Amazon or Google in the room to compete with)
• Very modular, allowing Safari AI and its customers to invent whole new use cases on a regular basis
• Developed the tech and data pipelines over three years and invested several million dollars and is now ready to scale
