TuMeke, Interview With Co-Founder Diwakar Ganesan
Summary
TuMeke, a San Mateo, CA-based provider of a computer vision platform that automatically assesses injury risk in manufacturing facilities, just announced the raise of $10M in Series A funding. Rooted in a mission to eliminate workplace musculoskeletal injuries, our team is comprised of experts in technology and ergonomics, with professional and academic backgrounds at Google and Stanford. We’ve intentionally adopted a product development philosophy centered around keeping the human-in-the-loop, rather than a process that autonomously makes decisions and collects data with no oversight. With our primary form factor of mobile phones, our platform is often used by safety specialists doing routine training/inspections on jobs; a process that ensures a human has to be “in-the-loop”, at the very least to collect the information and explain results to the employee. Our commitment to our mission has allowed us to become a key partner in manufacturing, empowering industry powerhouses to prioritize ergonomic safety and establish a resilient workforce.
