Our take
In the modern world, businesses are looking toward machine learning to help them make better decisions, but in-house data scientists are expensive and in short supply. Seldon has created an open-source machine learning platform that businesses can use to analyse their data, helping make the power of machine learning accessible to more than just the big corporations.
The company’s flagship open-source project, Seldon Core, has over 700,000 models deployed, drastically reducing friction for users deploying ML models. Seldon is partnered with industry leaders such as AWS, Google, and IBM, and its customers include several other Fortune 100 and FTSE 100 companies such as Johnson & Johnson, CapitalOne and Ford.
Seldon is now building a dedicated team from scratch in the US and focusing on hiring across its sales teams to obtain more customers and grow its revenue. It is banking on the importance of machine learning for the future of real-world business, and with a key objective being to ‘democratise’ access to AI’s benefits beyond big tech companies, Seldon's potential is huge.
