A short history of Matt Turck Data and AI landscape
Six years ago, in 2014, Matt Turck (investor at FirstMark Capital) published the first version of it mythical yearly landscape: The state of big data.
At this time, the term big data was trending, but machine learning, deep learning and AI were not yet fashionable.
Dataiku, the France born unicorn, was not yet spotted there. I remember I hacked the landscape to supercharge it with french startups, and called it the FrenchData Landscape.
And here comes the 2020 edition, now branded Data & AI Landscape.
Quite a crowded one!
And guess what? Zelros makes its entry in the Insurance category. I’m very proud to see this logo here — in this landscape that inspired me since almost a decade!
In 2017, the landscape started to identify groups by industry, showing the beginning of verticalization of AI applications. In particular, a dedicated insurance category appeared, already including the french trailblazer Shift Technology.
I’m also glad to see other awesome french data startup enter the landscape this year, like Toucan Toco, Dawex, CybelAngel or Saagie!
Can’t wait the 2021 edition!
