ELI - 430 | Eric Fonseca (Co-Founder of IndoAI - AI Powered Cameras & Computer Vision Startup)
In this episode of ELI, we speak with Eric Fonseca, Co-Founder of IndoAI, a startup building AI-powered edge cameras and computer vision solutions. Inspired by platforms like iOS, Android, and cloud giants such as Azure and AWS, IndoAI is creating an open ecosystem where third-party developers can innovate and contribute their own AI models and applications. The company aims to revolutionize the way enterprises handle attendance, visitor management, security, and more—right at the edge, ensuring data privacy and real-time responsiveness.
Eric shares insights into IndoAI’s journey, how the COVID-19 pandemic led them to pivot toward advanced face recognition and AI-driven attendance systems, and how they’re scaling up to address various use cases like fire detection, intrusion alerts, and vehicle identification. He also discusses the importance of fostering a developer community, the challenges of changing customer mindsets about AI-based solutions, and the path to building a sustainable AI startup.
