Qloo, a NYC-based cultural AI company, has secured a whopping $25M in Series C funding. Led by AI Ventures, with backing from AXA Venture Partners, Eldridge, and Moderne Ventures, this round of funding is set to propel Qloo into new heights.

Qloo, under the leadership of Founder and CEO Alex Elias, is changing the game with its AI platform that delves into culture and taste preferences. By providing anonymized consumer taste data and recommendations across various sectors like tech, entertainment, publishing, retail, travel, hospitality, and CPG, Qloo is reshaping how companies understand and cater to consumer preferences.

With a focus on driving sales, saving money on media buys, choosing real estate locations, and building brands, Qloo's AI technology is a game-changer. Through its proprietary API, Qloo predicts consumer preferences in over a dozen major categories, from music and film to dining and fashion.

But Qloo's impact goes beyond just business solutions. The company's subsidiary, TasteDive, is a cultural recommendation engine that helps users discover new content based on their unique preferences. This social community is reshaping how people engage with culture and entertainment.

Qloo's success is evident in its impressive client roster, which includes big names like Starbucks, Hershey's, Michelin, and Netflix. By leveraging Qloo's technology, these companies are able to personalize their offerings and enhance customer experiences.

With the latest funding round, Qloo is gearing up for expansion. The company plans to introduce a self-service interface for marketers and small businesses, as well as a "multi-person recommendation AI" that could revolutionize industries like dating apps.

Qloo's commitment to privacy and ethical AI development sets it apart in the industry. By prioritizing data privacy and security, Qloo ensures that its technology remains transparent and responsible.

As Qloo looks towards the future, the company is poised to redefine how industries leverage AI technology. With a focus on democratizing AI and expanding into new markets, Qloo is set to revolutionize the way we understand and interact with culture and consumer preferences.
