Company mission
Taktile's mission is to accelerate the adoption of Machine Learning technology in the financial industry.
Our take
Taktile’s goal is to ultimately enable its enterprise customers in the financial services industry to adopt machine learning (ML) technology and deliver ML applications. Whilst ML may seem old news, enterprise level businesses in the financial services have been slow to adopt it due to a shortage of expertise, IT resources, and regulatory freedom. The wealth of granular data at their fingertips has, therefore, gone 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.
Whilst Taktile are still young, they have inspired impressive confidence in some high profile backers, including Y Combinator, and the founders of industry behemoths like Datadog and Github. Presumably this is in anticipation of the reported wave of AI transformation about to break over the financial services - nearly 90% of financial services execs, by one report, plan on boosting their AI investments over the coming years.
Platforms like Taktile may well prove a crucial facilitating force in this rising tide, and a fertile ground for new innovation - alternatively, enterprises could follow the lead of more agile startups and take their ML development in-house. The latter may, in fact, seem a more attractive long-term solution, so Taktile will need to ensure its platform remains convincingly superior. However, evidence of sustained investor interest in Taktile came from its November 22 Series A funding to the sum of $20 million.
