History

Roboflow was founded in 2019 by Brad Dwyer and Joseph Nelson. Prior to Roboflow, both had worked on augmented reality and artificial intelligence apps. [2] The first version of Roboflow was launched in 2020 as a platform for the management of image datasets. It later moved to model training and model deployment as an end-to-end solution. [2] Initial uses including medical research [3] and smart city applications. [2] [4] As of 2024, it has raised $63.4M in funding [5] and been used by over one million developers. [6]

Platform

Roboflow is a software platform that allows developers to build computer vision into products. [7] Developers can upload images and videos which are then used to train computer vision models. [8] It also has an open source repository [9] with over 500,000 labelled data sets and 500 million images as of 2024. [6]
