Unitary, a London, UK-based AI-powered visual moderation company, raised $15M in Series A funding.
The round was led by Creandum with participation from Paladin Capital Group and Plural.
The company intends to use the funds to bolster its research and development programs, scale its team, and forge deep partnerships with platforms and brand safety organisations.
Co-founded by Sasha Haco and James Thewlis, Unitary has developed a solution to help platforms navigate nuance by analysing combinations of visual, aural, and textual content. The system classifies the internet’s information for users, platforms and brands to enable safe, transparent, and positive online experiences by interpreting content in context. By simultaneously analysing multiple signals, its machine learning technology is capable of understanding the content of videos and images, as well as the context in which they appear. This capability will be crucial as platforms adapt to new regulations like the UK’s Online Safety Bill, and the EU’s Digital Services Act, which will require more proactive moderation and action against illegal content, including child sexual abuse material. The company works with some brands to help them extract meaning from media.
