Catchoom

Catchoom is an award-winning VC-funded spin-off of Telefónica Digital that creates and sells high-performance cloud-based image recognition technology for a wide range of industries, including gaming, advertising, publishing and e-commerce.

Catchoom creates unlimited potential for large-scale high-performance platforms and apps that leverage image recognition to effectively increase revenues, amplify brand awareness, improve end-user experience and connect physical objects with the digital world. Catchoom technology is robust, flexible, easy-to-integrate and currently reaches more than three million active users each month. It captures 3D, distant and even partially occluded objects, and presents matches with benchmark accuracy in under a single second.

Catchoom continues to win applause in innovation circles. In 2012, it was a finalist at the IBM SmartCamp Kickstart and won Best AR Startup at augmented reality’s ARE2012 event in Santa Clara, Calif. Catchoom has also been recognized Red Herring Top 100 Europe 2013, and Gartner Cool Vendor in Digital Marketing 2013.

Founded in November 2011, Catchoom is based in Barcelona and has a sales representative in San Francisco.
