Thank you for the interest! We have a team of ~50 in-house annotators that use our AI tools and we are looking to expand out to Southeast Asia, namely Vietnam or the Philippines, to set up our annotator workforce there in the near future.

As you mentioned, we see that some data labeling companies focus on a few verticals like autonomous vehicles. These verticals are very data hungry and we actually do have clients in these sectors, but I also see a huge opportunity in the less "AI-savvy" verticals such as consumer electronics, physical security, factory automation and so on. They not only have a huge need for AI, but they also lack the AI talent to build AI themselves. So, one natural possibility is that we extend our service and actually deliver the AI built on top of the training data we make. To do that, we will need to automate that piece as well using AutoML or Meta-Learning which the co-founders already have experience with (AI building AI!). It's also possible that we stay focused on just the training data piece for a few of these verticals.
