Visual Layer has announced $7 million in seed financing from Madrona and Insight Partners to curate the massive sets of visual data used to train, test, and fine-tune generative AI models. The company is led by a team of experienced professionals with a proven track record in the visual data management and computer vision industry, and up to 30% of these massive image and video collections are broken, missing, or duplicates, skewing models that businesses and organizations are utilizing for products and services. Visual Layer addresses this challenge directly through a managed service that curates and “cleans” the data, thus enabling scientists and ML practitioners to produce higher-quality models and results.
