Our take
With the predictive analytics industry forecast to generate around $40 billion annually by the end of the decade, Black Crow AI is making quite a name for itself by leveraging its AI for companies in the e-commerce marketing space.
It’s not the only company of its kind, and they face stiff competition from the likes of DataHawk and Varos, but Black Crow AI’s growth since its founding has been remarkable. There appears to be plenty of room for all these companies to operate in the space, as more and more e-commerce & retail businesses seek accurate predictions on items which are likely to sell – information which they can use to better manage stock, marketing spend, and sales.
Having secured some notable customers in the form of Magic Spoon, Bearaby, and Firstleaf, as well as major venture capital funding, Black Crow AI’s aim is to rapidly expand its headcount, and develop further functions for its AI in the retail and e-commerce industries.
