About Matroid Matroid is a full-service computer vision company that has developed an end-to-end platform allowing enterprise customers to rapidly train and deploy automated visual inspection on imagery including EO, IR, X-Ray, CT, OCT, and others. Founded in 2016 by a Stanford professor, Matroid has raised $33.5 million from NEA, Energize Ventures, and Intel Capital and has a broad range of customers and partners in manufacturing, industrial IoT, and security. How will large language models transform computer vision? How do we bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and real-world deployment? Can computer vision answer more real-world questions — reliably, accurately, and responsibly? These are the challenges we wrestle with every day on the Matroid product team.
