Gaining Momentum

Netra is a scientifically validated project with origins in MIT CSAIL and Techstars Boston (2015). While the submission itself was low-quality (ignoring key milestones and making exaggerated audience claims), external verification confirms the company was acquired by Claravine in June 2023. This acquisition validates the 'Proof of Usefulness' and technical value of its patent-pending video analysis AI, despite the small team size and niche B2B scale.
