About Indico
Founded in 2014 by Alec Radford, Diana Yuan, Madison May and Slater Victoroff, Indico is an enterprise AI solution for unstructured content. It helps to automate tedious back-office tasks, improves the efficiency of labor-intensive document-based workflows and extracts valuable insights from unstructured content, including text and images. Organizations can thus turn their processes into profit by enabling automating manual, labor-intensive, document-based workflows.
Indico’s breakthrough in solving these challenges is an approach known as transfer learning. It allows users to train machine learning models with orders of magnitude fewer data than required by traditional rule-based techniques.
“The global pandemic has created a dramatic new set of challenges for business leaders in 2020. One of the most direct results has been the accelerated investment in digital transformation and automation initiatives to create more robust operating capabilities. Indico’s solution for the automation of document-intensive workflows continues to drive results across our key verticals with our ‘business first’ product strategy and our disruptive core technology advantage”, said Tom Wilde, CEO Indico.

I am very excited to work with Tom, Slater and their brilliant team to help build an industry-leading company in the automation space.”, said Saurabh Sharma, General Partner at Jump capital.
