About Safari AI
The Company's vision is to Automate Action of the leading companies in the physical economy, from Entertainment, QSR's, Retail and beyond. It's using computer vision AI to Measure, Alert and provide AI-generated Recommendations at the operations of leading companies such as Merlin/Legoland, Universal Orlando, 7-11, Tanger Outlets, Manhattan Mini Storage, Charlotte Hornets, Calgary Flames, and more. In the near future, Safari AI will use this data and to suggest how its clients can optimize its SOPs to generate more revenue and create more valuable guest and staff experiences.
Safari AI is seed-funded by leading venture capital investors and expects to raise its Series A in 2025.
Leadership & Culture
Safari AI is co-founded by Ali Vahabzadeh & Kaiwen Yuan, two leaders who have meaningful exits under their belts and have managed large, high-performing Go To Market and Engineering teams. The company is headquartered in NYC where the GTM team is based and works from the office five days a week, while Engineering is distributed between North America and Brazil.
About You And How You Succeed At Safari AI
You're excited about building a product and creating a market that hasn't been done before. You have a strong bias toward action when you are stuck but are not afraid to ask for help when you need to. You're high agency, and eager to test new ways of doing things, taking advantage of the freedom and culture an early stage startup can afford you. You're eager to lead the company's engagement with category leaders in a variety of industries, solving some of their biggest challenges.
About the Role
Safari AI is a first-of-its-kind computer vision AI platform that enables its enterprise clients to virtually share their IP video camera feed in order to measure the most important physical activity in their operations in real-time. The company is looking to double down on Founder/CEO-led growth and is now recruiting for its first Account Manager to join the team in their midtown Manhattan office. It all starts with creating opportunities at the top of the funnel and feeding qualified Enterprise leads to our GTM team. The position reports directly to the CEO who has more than a decade of experience building Revenue orgs from scratch and has personally performed this role previously. The Account Manager will immediately have access to all the tools and direct training to hit the ground running.
Responsibilities
Why bet on Computer Vision and Safari AI?
1. Huge opportunity hiding in plain sight: leveraging already-installed cameras to automate and real-time action on operational data
2. Large chasm between customer knowledge and market availability, i.e. customers don't know what is available in the market...yet.
3. No clear industry leader in computer vision; everyone is small and unbranded (i.e. no Amazon or Google in the room to compete with)
4. Very modular, allowing Safari AI and its customers to invent whole new use cases on a regular basis
5. Developed the tech and data pipelines over three years and invested several million dollars and is now ready to scale
6. Already the market leader in enterprise CV by working with industry leaders with billions in revenue
