Company Description Uru uses computer vision and machine learning technology to create a new and unobtrusive ad unit inside videos. Delivering these ad units at scale is an enormous technical challenge. But the opportunity to create a new pillar of video monetization, at a time when both publishers and social platforms like Facebook are going “video first,” is also colossal. Uru is an engineering-first company founded by two recent Cornell Computer Science graduate students. Computer vision and video are inherently fun to work with, but we have made working with them even more rewarding by fostering a company culture that prizes innovation, openness, and autonomy. At Uru, you will be joining an all-star team. Our current investors include Cornell University and the former CTO of a tech giant. Our advisors include one of the fastest rising professors in the Computer Vision and Machine Learning fields.
