History
Since its founding in May 2019, the platform has grown to more than 30,000 collaborators in over 120 countries, established over 250 local chapters in over 80 countries, and doesn’t stop growing. In late 2018, after more than 10 years in AI and entrepreneurship, Omdena Founder Rudradeb Mitra had the opportunity to work with a cleantech startup company. The mission was to build an AI-powered solution that could identify houses that are most suitable for solar panels.Within a couple of weeks 50 AI engineers came together in an online environment to build a solution to a problem they deeply cared about: clean energy. Collaboration among the diverse group of motivated people proved to be very powerful.Inspired by the project’s success, Rudradeb founded Omdena on May 22nd, 2019. Michael Burkhardt joined as a Founding Member and Chief Marketing Officer to help bring Collaborative AI to many more organizations and communities around the world.Since then, the Omdena platform has grown to more than 30,000 collaborators in over 120 countries and established over 250 local chapters. Each month brings new solutions to yet another troubling challenge and the team behind Omdena constantly tries to support the community that shapes Omdena.
The Mission.
