London, June 11th, 2019 – GoodVision, a London and Prague based deep tech startup, announced today a Seed venture capital investment of € 1 million from NEO Ventures and Credo Ventures. GoodVision is the first to provide rapid and fully automated traffic video analytics for civil engineering companies and smart cities.
Since its official launch in 2018, GoodVision’s SaaS product “Video Insights” rapidly gained a strong position on the market, experiencing double-digit monthly revenue growth. Today, it is actively used by more than 500 traffic engineering users across five continents. GoodVision’s technology is compatible with all standard cameras, and using it is as simple as uploading a video to the cloud.
Within 1 hour turnaround time, GoodVision’s proprietary deep learning algorithms retrieve a full set of real-world traffic data with unrivalled 95% to 100% accuracy. These are the crucial information used to prevent traffic congestion, to perform efficient street design and to increase the traffic safety and fluidity on the roads. It solves the huge bottleneck of data gathering for traffic models which is currently mainly reliant on human counters.
The financing will be used to fund GoodVision’s global expansion and to expand GoodVision’s proprietary tech capabilities into the Intelligent Traffic Management Systems area.
