The Problem

Small ML teams need proper tooling for data labeling but face high costs and enterprise-focused solutions.

Real Demand Evidence

Found on web-research·1 month ago

We're training a model on 50k samples and we built our own labeling interface in a weekend. It's held together with tape. We need proper tooling but Scale AI wants to talk to our enterprise team and we don't have one.

Core Insight
