Sesh develops Empath, a software product that uses AI to interpret emotions and states of mind from video, displaying identified emotions as visual "clouds" over users and tracking the data over time. Empath launched in July and the company positions the tool as an "EQ on demand" for remote meetings, sales teams, training, and market research during the pandemic. The software is intended to help companies understand non-verbal cues, situational context and culture to quickly establish trust and build meaningful relationships. The $1.6M raised in a pre-seed financing will be used to further develop Empath, prepare an Empath beta slated to launch next month, increase customer access, and expand the team. Co-founder and CEO David Dorfman said the company aims to be a market leader in cognitive AI.
