Their flagship product is a retail checkout kiosk that uses computer vision to detect what's placed in front of it, no barcode necessary. Why it's a big deal: The average American spends over five minutes in line at the grocery store. While grocery stores themselves employ over 800,000 cashiers. Mashgin has the potential to eliminate lines and the overhead of 800,000 employees; customers can place their groceries directly on Mashgin which simultaneously scans every item in the basket, checking out the customer in a manner of seconds. Think EZ-Pass for grocery store checkout.Mashgin's automated computer vision technology has the potential to fundamentally change the way consumers do their everyday shopping. It's no wonder they already have a $50 million letter of intent.","website":"https://mashgin.com/","total_amount_raised":0,"total_investors":0,"is_funded":false,"is_active":false,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/mashgin2","https://mashgin.com/"]},"media":{"share_image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/cover_photo_version4/8598/retina_banner.jpg","logo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/logo/8598/large_604691-1191d8fafcbf400c578f2b2365f70b9d-medium_jpg.png","cover_photo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/cover_photo_version4/8598/standard_banner.jpg"},"links":{"company_url":"https://mashgin.com/","twitter_url":"http://twitter.com/mashgin"},"highlights":[],"quick_facts":[{"index":1,"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"$120,000 in seed funding from Y Combinator in 4 days"},{"index":2,"claim_id":"claim-fact-2","value":"98.5% accuracy in live trials"},{"index":3,"claim_id":"claim-fact-3","value":"Accepts multiple payment methods (Credit card, QR code, etc)"},{"index":4,"claim_id":"claim-fact-4","value":"Up to 10x faster than the average cashier"},{"index":5,"claim_id":"claim-fact-5","value":"Uses innovative 3D reconstruction technology"}],"team":[{"id":37136,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:37136","user_entity_id":"wefunder:user:44400","role":"founder","name":"Abhinai Srivastava","title":"CEO","bio":"Former data scientist at Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo.
