Snorkel AI

Snorkel AI, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, specializes in data-centric artificial intelligence solutions. The company’s flagship platform, Snorkel Flow, enables enterprises to develop AI applications by programmatically labeling and managing training data, thereby accelerating the deployment of machine learning models.

Snorkel AI has raised approximately $135 million in funding across multiple rounds. Notable investors include Addition, BlackRock, Greylock Partners, GV (formerly Google Ventures), In-Q-Tel, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Walden International. In August 2021, the company announced an $85 million Series C funding round, bringing its valuation to $1 billion.

What sets Snorkel AI apart is its programmatic approach to data labeling, which addresses the bottleneck of manually annotating large datasets—a common challenge in machine learning development. By allowing users to create labeling functions that encode domain expertise, Snorkel Flow automates the labeling process, enabling rapid iteration and adaptation of AI models to specific business needs. This methodology enhances scalability and reduces the time required to build and deploy AI applications.

In the AI landscape, Snorkel AI operates within the category of data-centric AI development platforms. The company focuses on optimizing the quality and management of training data, applying techniques such as weak supervision to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of machine learning workflows.
