Locu

Founded by MIT graduates and computer science researchers, Locu is creating the world’s largest semantically-annotated repository of real-time small-business data.

Locu is building technologies to efficiently digitize real-world content, through a novel combination of document analysis, machine learning and online human computation workflows. The resulting structured semantically annotated data sets will be made available through a set of APIs.

MenuPlatform, Locu’s first product, is designed to help restaurants better manage their online presence.
