Lightly

Lightly sells LightlyStudio, a data hub for curating, labeling, evaluating and visualizing image and video datasets, and LightlyTrain, a tool for self-supervised pretraining and fine-tuning vision models. The website also offers managed data collection, annotation and evaluation services for physical AI, LLM and computer vision work.

The website describes its customers as machine learning teams in autonomous driving, robotics and computer vision research. Revenue appears to come from platform use and data services engagements; the website does not describe pricing or plans.

Lightly was founded in 2019 from ETH Zurich research and lists Zurich as its HQ, with a globally distributed team. The website states $10M in funding raised. Its open roles include a CAD or Blender expert, a business development internship, a remote account executive (GB, CA, US, CH), and freelance sales and energy-sector experts based in San Francisco.
