Global attention
Earlier this year, ContractPodAi Technologies, a leading artificial intelligence-powered contract lifecycle management company, announced the closing of a $115 million Series C investment led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 (SVF2) and Eagle Proprietary Investments. ContractPodAi, which provides a one-stop, AI-powered contract lifecycle management platform, said it would use the funding to accelerate its platform’s capabilities. ContractPodAi will use the money to expand its presence internationally and to leverage SoftBank’s global networks.
ContractPodAi’s Series C round comes after the company announced in July that it raised $55 million in a Series B round led by Insight Partners. ContractPodAi’s valuation is five times higher than its previous Series B round, according to SoftBank Vision Fund 2. Ayush Jain, an adviser for SoftBank Investment Advisers, will join the company’s board.
Conclusion
The company uses recurrent neural network models to perform sequence-to-sequence prediction tasks. The model uses an encoder-decoder network that encodes a sequence, then decodes it to a sequence of the same length. The final decoding passes through a softmax function that predicts the probability of the next word in the sequence. The company plans to use the money to expand its international presence and to accelerate its platform’s capabilities.
