Founded in 2007 in Seattle, Washington, Eyealike's patent-pending technology is the industry's fastest, most scalable and highly accurate image and video matching technology.
Thanks to extensive research and development, and contributions from experts in Computer Vision and the University of Washington, only Eyealike can quickly scan through millions of uploaded pictures and videos. Eyealike's visual similarity technology has been used in many innovative products, including ones that serve contextually targeted ads, match online dating prospects and innovate the online shopping experience.
Eyealike is well-funded and managed by seasoned experts who have successfully built and brought to market products and websites that are used by millions worldwide including IAC, Amazon, Disney/ESPN and Siemens. It is the first company to offer facial recognition, image detection and video copyright surveillance on a single, yet still modular, visual-based search application across a variety of platforms.
Eyealike is helping to pioneer a future where simple and increasingly limited text-based search engines become a thing of the past. As the future of the web heads more towards rich digital media – and away from plain text and HTML – this will only become more and more important. Eyealike’s expertise and knowledge positions it firmly in the forefront of the next-generation of Internet browsing.
The company’s lead investor is Datatec Limited, listed on the Johannesburg and London AIM Stock Exchanges, with revenues in excess of $4 billion.
