SuperAnnotate is a leading AI-powered data annotation platform designed to streamline the creation, curation, and management of high-quality datasets for machine learning and AI projects. The platform supports various data types, including images, videos, and text, and offers advanced annotation tools, pre-annotations, and model-assisted labeling to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
SuperAnnotate was founded in 2018 by brothers Tigran and Vahan Petrosyan, who dropped out of their PhD programs to pursue their vision of revolutionizing data annotation for AI. The company quickly gained traction, joining Berkeley's SkyDeck accelerator program and moving its headquarters to Silicon Valley in 2019. Since then, SuperAnnotate has experienced rapid growth, expanding its team and services to cater to a wide range of industries, including healthcare, autonomous vehicles, and retail.
SuperAnnotate has raised a total of $60.7 million over several funding rounds. The most recent Series B round in November 2024 secured $36 million, led by Socium Ventures, with participation from NVIDIA, Databricks Ventures, and other notable investors. This funding has helped the company accelerate its growth and further establish its role as a key player in enterprise GenAI dataset creation and management.
SuperAnnotate offers a comprehensive suite of tools for data annotation, including:
Advanced Annotation Tools: Supports image, video, and text annotation with features like object detection, segmentation, and classification.
