NumberOne AI
The first of its kind in Orange County to apply a broad, automated AI/ML platform to the challenge of starting and launching new company ventures
About NumberOne AI
Headquartered in Newport Beach, California, NumberOne AI was established in 2021 by Stuart McClure, a serial entrepreneur with a considerable track record in the cybersecurity sector. McClure previously founded two successful prevention-focused companies: Foundstone, which was acquired by McAfee in 2004, and Cylance, which was acquired by BlackBerry in 2019 for $1.4 billion. His experience includes serving as the Global CTO for McAfee/Intel and holding positions at Kaiser Permanente and Ernst & Young. The insights gained from applying AI and machine learning to cybersecurity at Cylance inspired McClure to apply these technologies more broadly to solve global challenges.
Read full description
NumberOne AI operates as a venture-creation entity, functioning as a hybrid incubator, accelerator, and foundry. The company's core business is to build and launch new ventures from the ground up, with predictive AI at their center. This model seeks to disrupt the traditional venture capital approach by focusing on quality over quantity and providing deep operational support rather than just capital infusion. The firm's platform is designed to be leveraged by organizations to analyze their data, uncover predictive insights, and integrate that intelligence into the companies they are building.
The company's primary offering is an automated AI/ML platform that underpins the entire venture creation process. This platform enables the development of new companies designed to address problems in a predictive and preventative manner. For instance, NumberOne AI is developing products like TusdiAI, an AI health assistant that provides personalized health insights by securely analyzing medical documents, and a unified scanning product for application security. In October 2022, NumberOne AI announced it had raised $13 million in funding from a group of investors including serial CEOs and venture firms like Miramar Digital Ventures, B5 Capital, and Drumwright Investments. This capital is being used to build out the core machine learning platform and to systematize the process of creating startups.
