About Supremind

Supremind, registered as Shanghai Shanma Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., is an artificial intelligence company established in 2019 that specializes in video analytics and spatiotemporal data management. The company was founded by Peng Yao, who serves as the CEO. Peng's background includes founding and leading the AI lab at Qiniu, a cloud service provider, and holding positions at IBM and China Construction Bank, providing him with extensive experience in distributed computing and media big data. This foundation in AI research and commercial application directly informs Supremind's focus.

The firm's core business revolves around providing AI-powered solutions for smart city management, with a significant emphasis on intelligent transportation. Supremind has developed two primary platforms: the ATOM deep learning platform for algorithm development and the VisionMind platform for video analysis. This dual-platform approach allows for the rapid iteration of algorithms and their application across various scenarios, addressing the high demand for customized AI solutions. The company serves government entities and public security departments, helping them manage urban spaces by analyzing video feeds to detect traffic violations, manage crowds, oversee environmental conditions, and ensure public safety. Its technology has been deployed in over 200 cities and districts across China. Supremind also offers solutions for internet content safety, identifying harmful or sensitive material in video and image data.

Revenue is generated by providing these specialized AI systems and platforms to its clients. The company's technology is designed to transform existing city camera infrastructure into a proactive management tool. For example, in transportation, it moves beyond simple monitoring to enable precise perception of traffic conditions, intelligent control through human-machine collaboration, and smarter service delivery to travelers. The technology can identify traffic accidents, locate the nearest emergency services, and predict traffic flow to prevent congestion. Since its inception, Supremind has secured significant funding through multiple rounds, including a 58 million RMB Angel round in 2019, a Pre-A round of nearly 100 million RMB in 2020, a 200 million RMB A-round in 2021, and a 400 million RMB Series C round in 2022.
