Alberto Rizzoli is co-Founder of V7, a platform for deep learning teams to manage training data workflows and create image recognition AI. V7 is used by AI-first companies and enterprises, including Honeywell, Merck, General Electrics, and MIT. Alberto founded his first startup at age 19 and made the MakerFaire’s 20 under 20 list. In 2015, he began working on AI with Simon Edwardson while studying under Ray Kurzweil, leading to the creation of the first engine capable of running large deep neural networks on smartphone CPUs. Later, this project became Aipoly, a startup that helped the blind identify over 3 billion objects to date using their phones. Alberto's work on AI granted him an award and personal audience by Italian President Sergio Mattarella and Italy’s Premio Gentile for Science and Innovation. V7's underlying technology won the CES Best of Innovation in 2017 and 2018.
