Our take

B2B predictive analytics startup Obviously AI offers a no-code platform to help non-expert data analysts run AI on historical data to train machine learning models.

Founded in 2019, Obviously AI won strong funding in 2021 and has attracted a substantial 3,000+ strong client base. It is expanding directly to Asian markets, including a partnership with one of Japan’s largest printing companies. Its growth is impressive - but perhaps not surprising. Capabilities like predictive analytics are quickly moving from an innovative feature to a business imperative, and Obviously AI helps companies benefit from them without investing in lengthy set-up or costly expertise.

Obviously AI’s investment rounds look set to continue yielding generous sums. No-code/low-code startups are a buzzy trend for VCs, and Obviously AI is offering a product with real market promise. Whilst still a modest operation, the company could ride the wave of this current investment trend to a powerful position in a sector of increasing importance.
