SIID isn't just another company – we're a powerful movement driving change towards a world that's fairer, more transparent, and more accountable. Our journey started with a vision of using AI to unveil bias in advertising, but recent events have transformed our mission. In the wake of the tragic events surrounding George Floyd's death in 2020, we've redirected our technological expertise toward reshaping police training and championing equity within the criminal legal system. SIID has recently closed its pre-seed round and joined the San Francisco-based venture studio Platform. Platform was founded by 10x serial entrepreneur Jeremy Burton (Wonolo, Fundly, Symbian) and seasoned venture investor Tim Connors (founder/partner of PivotNorth, and former partner at Sequoia and USVP).
