Computer Vision Startups

Joe Coll is a 25-year-old founder who built Pulse, an AI-powered SaaS platform that predicts emotional responses to ad creative with 97% accuracy before publication. He bootstrapped the business with over £1.48 million of his own capital from his successful marketing agency (Oncore), which generates over £1M in revenue annually with 25 employees. With 50 users in beta testing and pricing ranging from £500-£5,500/month, Pulse is preparing to launch paid offerings and raise a Series A round in early 2022.

Artial is an AI-driven autonomy software platform for drones, founded by 24-year-old Igor Fali, a former AI tech lead in robotics and computer vision. The company raised $500,000 pre-seed (at a valuation under $5M) and is building software that adds intelligent obstacle avoidance and autonomous navigation to drone platforms for urban safety, inspection, and logistics applications. They're currently in their first customer deployment with a prominent US drone manufacturer, targeting 20-25 drones in real-world testing, with plans to hit $100,000 in total revenue by December.
