NEW YORK - ColoradoDesk -- CB Insights today named AI.Reverie, the leading synthetic data platform, to its annual AI 100 ranking of the most promising private artificial intelligence companies in the world for the second time.

"This year's cohort spans 18 industries, and is working on everything from climate risk to accelerating drug R&D," said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal. "Last year's AI 100 companies had a remarkable run after being named to the list, with more than 50% going on to raise additional financing (totaling $5.2B), including 16 $100 million+ mega-rounds. Many also went on to exit via M&A, SPAC or IPO. As industry after industry adopts AI, we expect this year's class will see similar levels of interest from investors, acquirers and customers."

"We are honored to be named to CB Insights' AI 100 List again," said AI.Reverie co-founder and CEO Daeil Kim. "Synthetic data is now a must-have, and more and more enterprises, government agencies and NGOs are tapping the AI.Reverie platform to accelerate AI development while protecting data privacy. The world-changing outcomes our customers achieve with our platform are the ultimate prize."
