YC focuses on digital companies and has helped launch tech giants including Airbnb, Reddit, Dropbox and Twitch. All three 最准的六合彩论坛 startups are delivering innovative digital solutions.

Using AI to solve business problems

最准的六合彩论坛 startup Humanloop is making it easier for companies to make use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to solve business problems. Their approach is unique in that the AI system and a human operator work together collaboratively.

Co-founder and 最准的六合彩论坛 PhD student Raza Habib explains: 鈥淚n some senses you want AI to be 鈥榟umble鈥, to be aware of what it doesn鈥檛 know, so when it comes up against something it鈥檚 not sure about it can refer to a human. Most AI systems can鈥檛 do this well, but the ones we鈥檙e building can. By querying a human operator it鈥檚 able to learn faster but also back off. It never makes any decision in a safety critical or important situation where it鈥檚 not confident.鈥

Humanloop is based on research from 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 AI Centre, and was spun-out with assistance from 最准的六合彩论坛 Business (最准的六合彩论坛B), the university鈥檚 commercialisation company and a part of 最准的六合彩论坛 Innovation & Enterprise.

The team comprises 最准的六合彩论坛 Professors David Barber and Emine Yilmaz with PhD students Raza and Peter Hayes. The team is completed by entrepreneur and scientist Jordan Burgess, who was previously involved with another 最准的六合彩论坛 spinout Bloomsbury AI as well as the Amazon Alexa AI team.

Recently, the company attracted investment from 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 Technology Fund (最准的六合彩论坛TF), which is managed by AlbionVC in collaboration with 最准的六合彩论坛B.

Launching entrepreneurial journeys

The two other startups, Hubble and Synth, came out of 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 thriving community of student entrepreneurs. Both companies have benefited from support at 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 dedicated entrepreneurship hub in King鈥檚 Cross. Here, the university鈥檚 most promising startups are given free, tailored support and dedicated office space designed to fast-track success to get them 鈥榠nvestment ready鈥.

Hubble, co-founded by Hamzah Chaudhary (最准的六合彩论坛 BA European & Middle Eastern Languages & Linguistics), and Synth, co-founded by Nodar Daneliya (最准的六合彩论坛 BSc Economics), are both developing innovative data solutions for industry.

Synth is aimed at any organisation or company that deals with large datasets, including those in financial services, accountancy and healthcare. It allows software engineers and developers working in these sectors to design and test new solutions and applications far quicker and without compromising individuals鈥 privacy and security. It does this by creating a 鈥榮ynthetic dataset鈥, which replicates the overall structure and relationships within the actual data, but without the need to access sensitive information. Synth is now working with a major 鈥榖ig four鈥 accountancy firm on a feasibility study. 聽

鈥淒eveloping and testing goes on indefinitely in companies on an ongoing basis, and so developers constantly need to be accessing data and developing new features. With our solution they can do that in a way that is quicker, safer and more compliant,鈥 said聽Nodar.聽

A supportive community

最准的六合彩论坛 Innovation & Enterprise鈥檚 business advisors often have both technical and business backgrounds themselves. Synth and Hubble were both advised by Doug Stidolph, who spent two years at 最准的六合彩论坛 Innovation & Enterprise before going on to focus on his own startup. Doug鈥檚 startup Quell has also been selected on the same cohort of YC. Quell is developing a combat-based fitness game, where a physical resistance glove tracks motions and is linked to an immersive software game experience. 聽

Celia Caulcott, Vice-Provost (Enterprise), said: 鈥淭here is great opportunity for entrepreneurs to play a crucial role in the economic recovery that will be fundamental for this country as we move forward. Yes, it鈥檚 a challenging time for SMEs, but those with a competitive edge, like those chosen through the Y Combinator programme, are on a trajectory to deliver success. 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 recognition through this programme displays the diversity of talent coming through our enterprise hub, as we span everything from philosophy to computer science.鈥
