Quotes:
“Our goal is to give customers very high accuracy on their models.” — Kit Merker
“A lot of times, traditional enterprises are looking for a solution or an app. The filter is like an app, and so customers can start really small with us, get an app that they trust the data, and then expand from there. They don't have any machine learning expertise required.” — Kit Merker
“Don't fake your demos!” — Kit Merker
