We are excited to share with you this wonderful news: we completed our $5M Seed Funding round last month!
The Taipy Story
A few years back, Albert and I, after years of leading AI projects for large organizations, decided that it was time to transition to full Python development and stop using traditional Java, JS, .Net stacks, etc.
We had a pretty clear idea of what features we were looking for, but to our surprise, we couldn’t find them amongst the flurry of existing Python packages.
Our mission was straightforward yet ambitious: to provide the missing bricks that prevent so many AI/Data pilots from making it into a successful deployed project.
In particular, we wanted to bring the end-user back into the “AI/Data” picture. I am still amazed today to see how little is mentioned about the end-user: from data scientists to data engineers, is it all about data flows, exposing algorithms, etc.? No mention of how a human being will interact with AI/Data models… We wanted to change all that!
So we decided to build Taipy…
Taipy combines:
- A powerful Interactive front-end Application builder is yet very simple to learn/use.
- “Scenarios”, that is the possibility for the end-user (and the data scientist as well) to interact with data and algorithms easily.
In 2022, we first launched Taipy as an open-source project (check out our GitHub Page), followed by the Enterprise version later that year.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our incredible community. Our GitHub project is trending and saw a phenomenal rise in popularity, growing from 100 to over 3,000 stars in a few weeks!
I would also like to thank our early corporate adopters and partners, who are so important in validating and testing a new technology. Specials thanks to McDonald’s, KnowledgeTouch, Groupe Les Mousquetaires, Textile Apparel Limited, Total Energies, IFP-EN, etc.
Taipy’s future
This significant investment allows us to continue our full-time commitment to improving Taipy with a fantastic release coming up soon (Q1 2024). This funding is also a crucial step towards realizing our vision, positioning Taipy as the leading platform for Python AI/Data projects.
𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 ‘near’ 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲:
- Distributed Computing: Execute on remote clusters for parallel scenario/task execution.
- A brand new GUI Designer: you can build your GUI page with no coding!
- Integration with major Platforms like Databricks, Dataiku, etc.
On the communication side:
- We’re now present on several community platforms: Discord, LinkedIn, X, and YouTube.
- We sponsored many events: conferences, hackathons, meetups, webinars…
- We also plan to start regular Taipy Tech-Talks soon.
Thank you for believing in us! This journey wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of Taipy's contributors and the unwavering support of our investors, advisors, and co-workers who share our vision.
Together, we are transforming the landscape of AI and Data projects. Let's continue this incredible journey together, creating solutions that empower businesses and developers alike.
