Spotta

Founders: Robert Fryers & Neil D’Souza Matthew

About: Spotta’s technology automatically identifies and quantifies pest infestations, allowing hotel customers to resolve problems earlier and more cost-effectively.

Why we invested: Spotta’s founders – who have known each other since their engineering education at Cambridge – have deep expertise at the intersection of low power devices and artificial intelligence, and they have applied it to a massive industry that has been relatively untouched by technology.
