Startup Program
Making industry-tested text analytics accessible to high-impact, early-stage companies
Faster time-to-market with production-ready text analytics
The current generation of platforms and apps are exploiting the potential of text analytics and big data more than ever. But if natural language processing isn’t your core competency, then you’re probably looking for alternatives to rolling your own (especially if your market horizon extends beyond the world of English speakers).
Rocket fuel for startups
The survival of every startup depends on how quickly it can get its product to market. The Rosette Startup Program is designed for those who are NLP experts and those who are not, but need its analytics to power their application. Past successful program participants used Rosette to build:
- Voice of the customer/employee analysis
- Predictive analytics for cyber threat intelligence
- AI research assistant
- Meeting scheduling assistant bot
- News feed of personal contacts “in the news”*
- News article trustworthiness rating engine based on news source citations
By building on a foundation of production-ready text analytics at a special low price, startups can shorten time to market now, but also be ready when business takes off.
*Startup (Newsle) was acquired by LinkedIn.

How the program works
Startups that qualify for the program — based on potential, financial size and growth profile — can access the full suite of text analytics through Rosette Cloud or Rosette Enterprise (on-premise) for a low annual fee. As certain financial milestones are reached, a startup will graduate to tiered pricing corresponding to their size. Contact us today to learn more.

Selected Participants and Graduates

ClearPic is a risk and background screening platform focused on high-risk commodities markets. Powered by AI, ClearPic helps automate counterparty due diligence, know your customer (KYC) procedures, AML, and anti-fraud screening and detection by pooling data from hundreds of public sources into a single, digestible dashboard.
“ClearPic operates in some of the most difficult and non-transparent jurisdictions. The quality of public data is often low; names are often spelled inconsistently; and language-specific letters that are diligently reflected in some sources may be omitted in others. This all creates dozens of name variations that seriously affect search results. With Rosette, we have obtained a powerful instrument to significantly improve our entity resolution process, offering reliable data intelligence in some of the world’s most challenging places.”
