Animusoft Corporation was a Miami-based enterprise software company established in 2012 by CEO Daniel Rodriguez, a computer scientist with two decades of experience in machine learning and robotics. He was joined by co-founders Jorge Puignau, a U.S. Air Force veteran with a background in computer science and technology operations, and Steven McKean, a marketing and technology entrepreneur with a finance background and prior success as the founder of Acceller. The founders' collective experience was driven by a shared passion for robotics and a goal to simplify application development for drones, much like the app market model for mobile devices.
The company's core offering was the Alive platform, an edge computing software system designed for the enterprise drone and robotics market. Animusoft aimed to address the lack of standardization in the industry by creating a hardware-agnostic platform that could operate across various land, sea, and air-based drones and robots. The business model focused on providing enterprise data analytics by leveraging drones to capture and process vast amounts of visual and sensory data more efficiently than traditional methods. Clients included firms in the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors, with pilots and partnerships established with drone manufacturers and active conversations for applications in logistics, maritime cargo, and agriculture. Revenue was anticipated through offering the Alive platform as a product, a service, or on-demand.
In July 2017, Animusoft secured $1 million in a funding round, with significant participation from the AGP Miami angel investor network, to expand its marketing, sales, and data science teams. Despite this milestone and its efforts to automate and enhance workforces through drone technology, the company ceased operations around September 2018.
