See how ViSenze allows online users to search through captured photos

It raised around US$4M funds in just two years.

Forget about typing keywords on web to look for fashion products. ViSenze was created in an attempt to simplify the visual web by helping users find visual things visually without the need for keywords. Hence, the idea Visual + Sense becoming ViSenze.

In an interview with ViSenze's CEO Oliver Tan, he noted that 74% of online users today complain that keyword search engines are inadequate in helping them find things on web while 40% wished for their search process to be more visually intuitive.

Founded in 2012, Visenze is composed of a well-balanced team combination of two experienced entrepreneurs in fashion, Roger Yuen and Oliver Tan and two hard-core scientists Professor Chua Tat-Sen and Dr. Li Guangda.

This startup which seeded on the founders own money successively raised about US$4m in just a span of two years having Rakuten Ventures, Walden International, UOB Venture Management as their major investors.

Oliver claims that the uniqueness of ViSenze stems from a novel combination of 4 things: smart visual technology, deep domain knowledge of things we want to recognize, making our visual tools easy to deploy, and creative entrepreneurial ideas.

"ViSenze is not a just another visual technology company. Our aim to is solve real world problems and challenges of the visual web, and create new application opportunities creatively in areas done none before or rarely experimented before. We love challenges and creative applications", said Oliver.

With their internal gag "invisible solution (visual technology) meets visible problem (visual search problem in fashion)", the whole ViSenze team aims to make a difference in the visual world that is why they are recruiting like-minded individuals to join their exciting journey to address "Stop Searching and Start Finding Issue."
