SiMa.ai, the machine learning software-driven company with purpose-built hardware to deploy AIML applications at the edge, today announced it has been named on Forbes’ 2024 America’s Best Startup Employers list for the second consecutive year. The inclusion on Forbes’ annual employer list follows SiMa.ai’s recognition by IDC as an Innovator for AIML at the edge and GSA as the 2023 Startup to Watch. SiMa.ai was included on the Best Startup Employers list for a second time as a result of its investment in and development of strong talent, company growth, and employee culture and satisfaction.
SiMa.ai is focused on delivering leading efficiency and performance for vision-centric inference and advancing its chips to handle the power and compute of multi-modal large language models. As edge devices become more capable of powerful vision and language processing, SiMa.ai will power human-machine collaboration across critical industries like healthcare, industrial manufacturing, aerospace, defense, agriculture, and more.
“The team behind SiMa.ai’s technology is critical to our success, and we’re proud to be recognized on Forbes’ Best Startup Employers list for a second year in a row,” said Krishna Rangasayee, CEO and founder, SiMa.ai. “As AIML becomes more ingrained across the devices we use everyday, we’re building the capabilities to bring sight, sound and speech to edge devices across hospitals, farms, factory floors and more. That future requires an imaginative, collaborative, and dedicated group of individuals who are committed to redefining what’s possible for machine intelligence at the edge.”
Presented by Forbes and market research company Statista, the 2024 list was compiled by evaluating 20,000 American businesses founded between 2014 and 2021 that employ at least 50 people. Companies ranked on Forbes’ America’s Best Startup Employers list are evaluated by three criteria of excellence: employer reputation, employee satisfaction, and growth. Out of all the qualified organizations in the U.S., only 500 employers earned this distinction.
The ranking comes after a series of significant corporate milestones achieved over the last 12 months. SiMa.ai has expanded its market leadership, most notably with the recent launch of its MLSoC Development Kit, which allows developers to compile and evaluate their machine learning models in hours and create proof-of-concept use cases in days. The company bolstered its leadership ranks in October with the appointment of Elizabeth Samara-Rubio as Chief Business Officer. In addition, the company was recently recognized as an IDC Innovator for AIML at the edge, won the GSA 2023 Startup to Watch award, achieved MLPerf results that surpassed NVIDIA in computer vision performance twice in 2023, launched its Partner Program and raised additional capital.
