Fiddler AI Named to the 2021 CB Insights AI 100 List of Most Innovative Artificial Intelligence Startups – Yahoo Finance

Fiddler AI honored for achievements in ML Model Performance Monitoring and Explainable AI to build trustworthy and reliable AI solutions

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CB Insights today named Fiddler AI to the fifth annual AI 100 ranking, showcasing the 100 most promising private artificial intelligence companies in the world.

"This is the fifth year CB Insights has recognized the most promising private artificial intelligence companies with the AI 100, and this is one of the most global groups we've ever seen. This year's cohort spans 18 industries, and is working on everything from climate risk to accelerating drug R&D," said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal. "Last year's AI 100 companies had a remarkable run after being named to the list, with more than 50% going on to raise additional financing (totaling $5.2B), including 16 $100 million+ mega-rounds. Many also went on to exit via M&A, SPAC or IPO. As industry after industry adopts AI, we expect this year's class will see similar levels of interest from investors, acquirers and customers."

"We're honored to be named to the AI 100 list and excited that our mission to build trust in AI is quickly becoming critical in today's world. Algorithms rule our lives - from news consumption to mortgage financing, our lives are driven by algorithms. Most algorithms are AI-based and increasingly black boxes. We cannot allow algorithms to operate with a lack of transparency. We need accountability to build trust between humans and AI. Fiddler's mission is to build trust with AI by continuously monitoring models and unlocking the AI black box with explainability," said CEO & Founder, Krishna Gade.

Through an evidence-based approach, the CB Insights research team selected the AI 100 from a pool of over 6,000 companies based on several factors including patent activity, investor quality, news sentiment analysis, proprietary Mosaic scores, market potential, partnerships, competitive landscape, team strength, and tech novelty. The Mosaic Score, based on CB Insights' algorithm, measures the overall health and growth potential of private companies to help predict a company's momentum.
