Ex-Spotify employees raise $10M to bring the AI behind its recommendations to e-commerce

A startup founded by ex-Spotify employees raised $10 million to bring recommendation-style AI to e-commerce. The product aims to predict what a shopper wants next and learn from real-time behavior.

Why it matters
