Wallaroo Labs, Inc., announced it has closed $25 million in a Series A funding round, enabling the company to expand product, sales, and marketing, and to release a free community edition of its machine learning platform.
The funding round was led by Microsoft’s venture arm, M12. New investors Ridgeline Partners and NSS Advisors joined existing seed investors Boldstart Ventures, Contour Venture Partners, Eniac Ventures, and Greycroft as part of the round.
"As more companies look to operationalize ML for the first time, and others grow their current ML investments to become a fully mature capability at scale, conquering ML’s last mile will quickly become their top priority. This new funding gives us the resources to help them deliver on the promise of AI,” said Vid Jain, founder and CEO of Wallaroo Labs.
In addition to capital, M12 will be providing Wallaroo with invaluable strategic guidance and access to Microsoft’s global network.
Wallaroo is already working with the US Military and some of the largest brands in the world to help them deliver ROI on their data and AI investments. Use cases include security, fraud, pricing, marketing, NLP, recommendations, computer vision, manufacturing, marketing, and enterprise AI-as-a-service.
