Hiromi and I started it after doing study group together for about 3 years. We had a company reach out and ask if we could help them with some of their problems and we realized that it was something we could help with. As we have been working through their problems, we realized that we could help other companies as well so we generalized our startup to help any companies develop, optimize, and maintain their deep learning models and everything that surrounds them. We have learned so much already in our first 8 months
