Cogito

Founders: Josh Feast & Sandy Pentland

About: A spinout of the MIT Media Lab, Cogito creates AI-driven behavioral analytics software that provides real-time emotional intelligence support for sales, service, and care management professionals.

Why we invested: Cogito’s expertise in behavioral analysis of voice using ‘honest signals’ stood out to us, and we believed it would be one of the first successful and scalable examples of artificial intelligence to be applied in large enterprises.
