How Rossum is using deep learning to extract data from any document
Paul Sawers
Today Rossum announced that it has raised $4.5 million since its inception — including $1 million in preseed funding to develop a minimal viable product between 2017 and 2018 and a $3 million seed round that closed last month. The funding round was co-led by U.K.-based seedinvestors LocalGlobe and Seedcamp, with participation from some notable angel investors, including Flexport CEO and founder Ryan Petersen, and Elad Gil, who sold his startup Mixer Labs to Twitter in 2009 before becoming an investor in Airbnb, Instacart, Pinterest, Square, and Stripe, among others.
