‍About NerVve

‍Headquartered in Buffalo, NY with a presence in Northern Virginia, NerVve is a privately funded organization of extremely focused engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs and sales professionals that can't wait to get to work each morning.

NerVve Technologies' NVSS was developed to address the core needs of organizations seeking to exploit massive amounts of unstructured data (video, images and other two dimensional raster data). In the era of big data, human review of unstructured data is simply insufficient due to volume. NerVve utilizes NVSS to search either live or forensically each frame in video, images, or tiled imagery to detect anything the user wants to find at extreme speeds, enabling automatic extraction and alerts of the most relevant or interesting items even for large volumes of data.
