On the day of their launch, co-founders Kenny Daniel and Diego Oppenheimer of Madrona-backed startup Algorithmia took an hour off from fighting fires to talk with the UW CSE faculty.
Quoting Diego, “Algorithmia gives developers the ability to turn algorithms into scalable web services with a single click. Application developers can then integrate the algorithm into their own applications with under 10 lines of code. Algorithmia hosts the web services, makes them discoverable and enables algorithm developers to get paid for usage.” Incredibly cool, and a great way to increase the impact of academic research.
