Overview

EyePop, founded in 2023 by Andy Ballester (co‑founder & CPO), Brad Chisum (CEO) and Torsten Schulz (CTO), offers a Self‑Service Training AI platform that lets customers train computer vision models using their own images and videos or curated models from EyePop’s library. The platform supports use cases such as auto‑labeling, packaging inspection, SKU matching, and 2‑D body‑movement tracking, and includes Zapier integrations for easy connections to tools like Slack and Google Drive. Customers highlighted in the article include Rapid Medical (automating compliance and transport checks), CargoShot (real‑time cargo identification/tracking) and Ventive (enhancing client products without in‑house ML). EyePop positions itself for startups, software development shops, and businesses that cannot afford to hire specialized ML teams, emphasizing accessibility and lower friction. Financially, EyePop raised $1.76M last year and is currently in the middle of a $2M round with $1.25M committed; those funds are being used to expand the team, scale marketing and sales, and strengthen partnerships. Future plans include launching a public crowdsourced marketplace of models and adding flexible deployment options (cloud, local, or on‑device) for customer pipelines.
