List of startups doing AI & ML

What it solves

Finding AI and machine learning startups is tedious when you have to search city by city and domain by domain. This project compiles a large, ready-to-browse directory of 2,330 startups across 36 cities, so you can quickly see who is working on computer vision, NLP, robotics, medicine, and many other areas without manually scouring the web.

How it works

The list is built automatically from public data, so it is not manually curated and may contain errors. Each startup is shown in a table with its name, website, LinkedIn profile, founding year, employee count, LinkedIn followers, funding round, and industry. The entries are organised first by city (from Amsterdam to Zurich) and then by a set of domain categories such as 👁 Computer Vision, 📚 Natural Language Processing, 🤖 Robotics, 💉 Medicine, 🚗 Self-Driving Cars, 🗣 Voice & Sound, Chatbots & Customer Service, Document Processing, Search & Recommendation, Science & Engineering, Business, Consulting, and Other. You can jump directly to a city using the table of contents and browse the relevant companies.

Who it's for

This directory is useful for investors scouting opportunities, researchers mapping the AI landscape, developers looking for potential employers or partners, and anyone curious about which companies are active in AI and ML in a particular city. Because it is automatically generated, it is best used as a starting point rather than a definitive source.

Highlights

  • Contains 2,330 AI and ML startups from 36 cities worldwide.
  • Covers 14 domain categories including computer vision, NLP, robotics, medicine, self-driving cars, voice and sound, and more.
  • Each entry lists essential company facts: website, LinkedIn, founding year, employee count, followers, funding round, and industry.
  • Built automatically, so it is broad but not guaranteed to be accurate — the README explicitly warns it is unreliable.
  • Includes a jump-to-city index for quick navigation.

    iml-wg/HEPML-LivingReview

    HEPML-LivingReview is a community-maintained literature review that collects and organises nearly all modern machine learning papers applied to particle physics, from classical neural networks to deep learning and foundation models. It solves the problem of scattered, uncatalogued research by grouping papers into few practical categories, making it a comprehensive starting point for researchers and practitioners.
