The idea is to co-create two new    AI businesses within the incubator programme every year, for    five years. Terms were not disclosed.  <\/p>\n<p>    CSC Group invested in Founders Factory (co-founded with Henry    Lane Fox) in October 2016. CSC is one of Chinas biggest tech    investors  they put $400m into Angelist 18 months ago. Their    idea is to provide a bridge for these startups to later enter    the Chinese market.  <\/p>\n<p>    The first two startups being announced for the AI accelerator    programme are Iris.ai. The AI-driven research assistant helps    users to search and map over 60 million open access research    papers, doubling the productivity of research teams. Founded by    Anita Schjll Brede (CEO), Maria Ritoia (CMO) and Jacobo Elosua    (CFO) in 2015, Iris.ai launched at TechCrunch Disrupt in London    last year.  <\/p>\n<p>    The second is illumr. Founded by Jason Lee (CEO) in    2013, and with a decade of research behind it, this helps    organisations better understand and predict patterns of    behaviour that affect them. illumr turns complex datasets into    understandable 3D patterns to reveal insights that all other    analytical tools and methodologies may miss. So far, illumr    has worked with government departments, large financial    institutions and housing organisations.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>View original post here:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2017\/04\/03\/founders-factory-invests-in-its-first-two-a-i-startups-iris-ai-and-illumr\/\" title=\"Founders Factory invests in its first two A.I. startups  Iris.ai and illumr - TechCrunch\">Founders Factory invests in its first two A.I. startups  Iris.ai and illumr - TechCrunch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Founders Factory, the corporate accelerator vehicle set up by Brent Hobermans Founders Forum umbrella, has today announced the first two startups selected for their AI accelerator programme in conjunction with CSC Group.
