Our take
AI is currently utilised across multiple industries, requiring companies to continuously collect, organise and label image data so that AI models will be able to adapt to new scenarios. V7 Labs is a computer vision platform that helps AI teams develop vision-based models that are learning continuously from training data with minimal human supervision.
V7 distinguishes itself in the market by condensing the most effective tools for organising datasets into a single SaaS platform. The company says that using only 100 human-annotated examples in its toolkit can label the rest of the training data autonomously. Although its main business specialisations are in medicine and health sciences, its product is being picked up by tech companies in other sectors, and it now counts more than 300 customers including Siemens and GE Healthcare.
The company is now stepping into a new chapter. Known for helping companies label image data with speed and precision, it's now building smart tools that go far beyond computer vision. With the launch of V7 Go, the company is taking a bold leap into business automation, making powerful AI easy for everyday users. Backed by big-name customers, strong accuracy results, and fresh investment, V7 is very much ready to become a major player in the future of work.
