Our story

Our CEO, Martin Goodson was inspired to create Evolution AI after struggling with traditional OCR technology in a previous job.

In 2011, he was one of a tiny handful of attendees in a conference workshop on a little known AI technology called ‘Deep Learning’. He realised then that deep learning could address the limitations of OCR and has been working on a new approach to this old problem ever since. 
‍
After Martin joined forces with our CTO Rafal Kwasny, one of the most respected big data experts in the UK, Evolution AI was born. Together with a stellar team of machine learning researchers and engineers, they have developed some of the most innovative products in our category.

We are funded by one of the largest AI R&D grants ever awarded by the UK government along with investment from venture capital firm First Minute Capital.

Our government funding allowed us to form a research consortium including the University of Southampton and corporate partners, such as Dun & Bradstreet;  and was supported by the Office of National Statistics.

Evolution AI sits at the heart of the AI community in London. Sharing our expertise and inspiring the adoption of AI is integral to our values: we lead the largest community of AI practitioners in Europe, London Machine Learning, which has almost 10,000 members. Our CEO chairs the membership organisation representing Data Scientists in the UK, the Data Section of the Royal Statistical Society; helping the field of data science grow into a mature industrial discipline is also core to our values.
