About Shofo
Summary
Shofo builds a large-scale video and multimodal data platform for AI labs that need custom training datasets. It has aggregated billions of videos into a searchable index spanning computer use, talking-head footage, speech, gameplay, and expert physical labor, each paired with structured metadata and annotations. When a lab specifies an exact data requirement, Shofo's agents search the index, extract the matching clips, run them through a labeling pipeline, and deliver a finished dataset in days rather than months.
Business model
Data delivered on demand through a self-serve platform, with custom dataset orders handled by direct contact.
Go-to-market
AI labs are the primary buyers, reached through direct contact and a self-serve browsing platform where teams can explore available datasets and request samples.

The World's Largest Video Library
We are building the world’s largest video library. We've aggregated billions of videos into a searchable index and use agents to find and label the exact datasets a lab needs on demand. If a lab needs 100K hours of cooking videos where someone is holding a pan, with reasoning annotations on top, our agents search the index, extract the matching subset, route it through our labeling pipeline, and deliver a custom dataset in days, not months.
