The Black Crow AI platform is democratizing the power of enterprise-grade machine learning, by delivering infrastructure as a service that works out of the box for companies of any size. Its technology analyzes billions of data points in real-time to optimize core business processes, like managing churn, enhancing customer experience and optimizing marketing spend. Companies can integrate Black Crow AI’s infrastructure into their tech stack in 1 click – all without any engineering or data science skills required.
In the 9 months since Black Crow launched its first machine learning prediction products focused on digital commerce brands, 225 companies have begun using the platform, including Solo Stove, Sakara Life and Liquid IV.
“We believe streaming, real-time event data is the most valuable but underutilized asset in the world today. The tools to generate insights and value from that data have been out of reach for all but the largest enterprises,” says Richard Harris, CEO and co-founder of Black Crow AI. “With this new round of funding, we aim to further democratize machine learning and empower companies to flourish even amidst intense competition from the largest enterprises.”
In the past, the deployment of machine learning at scale has only been available to the largest companies with in-house data science and machine learning teams. Black Crow AI’s no-code platform now enables companies of all sizes to use powerful predictive analytics at very low cost. Black Crow AI empowers teams without technical skills to harness the power of AI predictions to generate massive improvements in growth and operating efficiency.
