Salary benchmarks
Our take
Taktile’s goal is to enable financial services enterprises to adopt machine learning (ML) technology and deliver ML applications. Whilst ML may seem old news, these businesses have been slow to adopt it due to a shortage of expertise, IT resources and regulatory freedom.
This means that the wealth of data at their fingertips tends to go underutilised. With Taktile, these organisations can easily deploy, maintain, and monitor ML applications on a single platform, finally putting crucial ML tools in the hands of enterprise level businesses.
Taktile has inspired impressive confidence in some high-profile backers, including Y Combinator, and the founders of industry behemoths like Datadog and Github. With platforms like Taktile's playing a facilitating role in the AI revolution of financial services, the road ahead should provide ample opportunity for innovation and growth.
