Datasaur
Datasaur builds a data labeling workforce management platform for NLP.
Datasaur builds intelligent, optimized, human-centric LLM/NLP tools. If you're still using Excel or maintaining your own in-house tools, Datasaur can offer you significant cost-savings and improve the quality of your training data. We provide tools custom-built for power users. Our built-in intelligence helps augment your human labelers and avoid costly mistakes; our workforce management tool allows you to assign projects to and cross-validate the results from multiple labelers to ensure you can train your models with the utmost confidence. I have 10 years of consumer product experience. I'd be happy to help discuss product strategy and gamification. I'd love to get any advice you have to offer on SaaS and enterprise sales.

How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of developing ML products at several companies. My most recent position at Apple involved overseeing the gathering of training data for the team, which required a significant investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. While working on this project, we utilized a range of tools, including spreadsheets, open-source resources, and custom internal tools. Despite the company’s resources, I found myself wishing for a labeling interface that didn't exist - one that would have made the process more efficient and streamlined.It was this realization that led me to create Datasaur, a solution that would address this gap in the market once and for all. Our goal is to provide an intuitive and effective labeling interface that can benefit the broader NLP ecosystem across all industries and languages.
