In this Friday Conversation, we were joined by Cory Linton, CEO & Manoj Perumal, COO/CTO of Mojo AI. They discussed the founding of their AI safety company in 2018, how AI can help aggregate safety data to identify risks, and how their platform provides customized recommendations to improve worker safety.

Cory & Manoj discuss how initially, their original focus was on establishing an AI company, leading them to explore various sectors such as trucking and other things. However, their journey ultimately shifted towards prioritizing safety, which captivated the speaker due to its relevance, as demonstrated by the everyday occurrence of pretest planning meetings on construction sites.

They explained how a key turning point for them was acquiring a safety software platform from Facebook that large companies wanted to license but the original owners wouldn't due to data privacy concerns. This became the core of their product offering. They now work with companies of all sizes to aggregate safety data from the frontline workforce to identify risks.

They discuss how the platform also provides customized safety reminders and recommendations to workers. Companies of all sizes use their platform while continuing to improve safety practices. Corey and Minoj hire data scientists and engineers to build out the platform and they raise venture capital funding to scale the business. 

Tune in to hear from these great entrepreneurs.
