Berkeley/San Francisco - Full-time Captricity transforms stacks of paper forms into structured data faster and cheaper than anyone else. Our technology can greatly improve the efficiency of low-resource organizations working in the world's most disadvantaged communities. Our first customers work in Mali, Ghana and Sierra Leone. We use computer vision, machine learning and information-theoretic principles to guide an army of online workers (MTurk for now). Our workers love our tasks. Captricity has 5 full-timers, top-notch investors and seed-funding. The product is in private-Beta.
