- **Target customers**: Enterprise AI teams building multimodal, sensor-heavy AI systems (B2B, Enterprise)
- **Mission/purpose**: "Train and run AI on the right data" – solving the data quality bottleneck that prevents AI products from reaching production.

## Products & Services

- **Data-as-a-Service (DaaS)**: Professional services for data collection and annotation, including in-field operators and teleoperation facilities matched to physical AI tasks.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding $110.1M (as of 2026); annual revenue estimated at $5.5M (LinkedIn proxy, "Not publicly available" for official numbers)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: CRV, Y Combinator (W21 batch), and individual investors like Luc Vincent (former VP of AI at Meta). Customers include Toyota, Skydio, Maxar, and UiPath (UiPath achieved near 99% model accuracy and 10x dataset growth using Encord).
- **Growth Signals**: 139 employees (+74.3% YoY, +78 people); 300+ teams using the platform; operates in 7 countries; recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in the data annotation space; strong customer retention (e.g., UiPath 4x reduction in error rate).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Built for Physical AI**: Multimodal by design from the ground up – handles synchronized LiDAR, camera, radar, depth, force/torque, audio, and text in a single workflow.
- **Enterprise‑grade trust**: Zero data migration (data stays in customer cloud), API/SDK-first integration, label lineage and quality controls for production scale.
- **Proven at scale**: Used by leading autonomous vehicle, robotics, and enterprise AI teams; validated by public case studies (UiPath, Toyota, Skydio).

## Strategic Focus
- Deepen capabilities for world models, VLA (Vision-Language-Action) models, and robotic perception.
- Expand Data-as-a-Service offerings for physical AI data collection and annotation.
- Continue scaling the customer base across industrial, manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, and smart infrastructure verticals.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: “Strong in-person culture” with hybrid/office‑first approach (San Francisco, New York, London). 45+ nationalities represented. Core values: “Builds with care + urgency” and “High agency”.
- **Compensation & Benefits**: Equity in a hyper‑growth startup; 25 days paid time off; private health insurance (UK/US); team lunch twice a week; monthly team events and bi‑annual offsites; cycle to work scheme; home & tech scheme; annual learning & development stipend; payroll giving scheme.
- **Visa Policy**: Case-by-case visa sponsorship, confirmed early in the recruiter screen.

- **Early‑career programs**: Commercial Associate program (GTM launchpad) and early‑career engineering/ML roles – no formal internship program but hires ambitious early‑career candidates.
