(San
Francisco, CA) In the year
2013, the first zettabyte of data, traveled the breadth of the internet. Fascinatingly, and during this same year,
Zetta Venture Partners was founded. The
idea was a next generation venture capital firm that, would be strictly focused
on artificial intelligence. The same
way, the first zettabyte of data would ultimately, empower the next generation
of computer software technology businesses.
Every once and a while, artificial intelligence (A.I.) is referred to
as, machine intelligence. The concept of
A.I. is in contrast to natural intelligence that; is seen and displayed by
humans, and, animals. Therefore,
artificial intelligence is intelligence that, is seen and displayed by
machines. Recently, Zetta Venture
Partners announced that, its first two investment funds were successful. Specifically, the aforementioned business
revealed that, it has opened its third investment fund. Zetta Venture’s third investment fund, is
centered on artificial intelligence. The
latter, is officially opened with an allocated amount of $180 million USD.
The $180 million dollar investment
fund, Zetta Venture’s third, does contribute to Zetta Venture’s total assets
that are under management. The previous,
has a reported value of $365 million USD.
However and returning to; artificial intelligence, the aforementioned
concept is also informal, or, conversational.
As an informal or conversational term, A.I. refers to the ability to
mimic cognitive functions. These human
functions, generally speaking, are associated with the human mind. For example, the cognitive functions learning
or problem solving. From this point, a
second concept can be extrapolated. The
second concept relates specifically, to computer software. Artificial intelligence, as a computer
software concept, is the study of computer algorithms. These computer algorithms have the ability to
improve, as a result of, the user’s experience.
As it relates to the 21st century, artificial intelligence
(A.I.) techniques have experienced a swell of interest. The latter is due to the fact that; computing
power has increased, along with, the emergence of the capability of large
amounts of data. The combination of the
former and the latter, has fueled a theoretical understanding of artificial
intelligence. As a result computer
science, software engineering and operations research have all embraced
artificial intelligence.
Returning to; Zetta Venture’s third
investment fund, the aforementioned is based on a belief. The belief is that, the case for building
artificial intelligence businesses, has never been more compelling. As a result of this belief, Zetta Venture
Partners strives to be a hard working business partner. As a business partner, the aforementioned
business knows exactly what it takes to build an A.I. centered business. Additionally, through its $180 million dollar
investment fund, this business wants to do the following. First, it wants to invest in artificial
intelligence centered businesses that, have a business to business (B2B)
business model. Second, the investment
range is between $1 million USD, and, $3 million USD. Pre-traction and post data startups with
predictive client models, are the desired businesses.
Ross Schibler is the Founder and the
Chief Executive Officer of Opsani.
Through a press statement, Mr. Schibler said the following. “We decided to team with Zetta because of their

the following. “AI has largely been

Director of Zetta Venture Partners.
Through a press statement, Ms./Mrs. Goldfein said the following. “So many people are feeling pessimistic about
