Sold a company in 2014 that categorized 65M videos a month using a number of techniques such as object detection (soccer ball), scene classification (soccer pitch), and face recognition (Ronaldo). Used YouTube as a training ground. Marketed as ad words for video. Way ahead of its time. Did $60M in revenue the year after we sold it. Face. Palm.

I built something that used surveillance cams in warehouses in 2018 and almost got 25m for a subset of what our company did. I took those same ideas to some long-term connects and we turned it into something worth much more that to us.

Be glad about where you are knowing that you won't have to do as much as others to pay down your sins in this industry.
