Applitools Named to 2019 CB Insights AI 100 List of Most Innovative Artificial Intelligence Startups

SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Applitools (applitools.com), the leader in Application Visual Management (AVM), today was named in CB Insights' third annual AI 100 list for applying artificial intelligence to software development. The AI innovation presented by Applitools has solved the automated visual UI testing problem in software delivery that otherwise would take a company numerous resources and days to complete through traditional and manual testing practices. Applitools was selected to the AI 100 from a pool of more than 3,000 companies through an evidence-based approach taking into account several factors including patent activity, investor quality, news sentiment analysis, proprietary Mosaic scores, and more.

In addition to disrupting multiple industries, 2019 AI 100 companies are revamping the broader enterprise tech stack at a number of firms. These companies span the globe, from the US, UK, Israel, Japan, China, Germany, Sweden, and Canada, and are supported by more than 680 investors from 29 countries.

"After being named to the AI 100 in 2018, last year's honorees raised nearly $4.5 billion across 45 deals with 6 going on to be valued at $1 billion or more," said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal. "The data we compiled on this year's nominees, ranging from their customers to their patents to their CB Insights' Mosaic scores, revealed 100 AI companies that are driving transformation across a number of industries and which are taking on a variety of large societal issues ranging from disaster management to cancer diagnosis to detecting fake news. We expect these companies will see similar levels of momentum and progress in 2019 and are excited to continue to track their progress."

Consumer interactions with businesses are occurring more frequently through digital user interfaces. To improve the quality of this experience, Applitools helps enterprise IT organizations implement visual testing easily to find bugs much faster than traditional testing tools and practices.
