StorySense Computing, founded in 2009, operated from its headquarters in Taipei, Taiwan. The firm positioned itself in the artificial intelligence sector, focusing on the analysis and management of narrative content.
The company developed a platform aimed at the Taiwanese market that utilized AI to process and understand various forms of user-generated content such as blog posts, video annotations, and comments within social communities. This service was designed to help users digest large volumes of online information and simplify complex processes. One of its known products was the "WhatsTheNumber" mobile application for both iPhone and Android platforms.
The business model was centered on providing its AI-driven services to users, and it successfully attracted venture capital investment to fuel its growth. The company's primary investor was Darwin Venture Management, which held a minority stake. After operating for several years and reaching a revenue-generating stage, StorySense Computing was acquired by DianhuaBang on April 21, 2015, in a deal valued at $10 million. This acquisition marked the conclusion of its journey as an independent, venture-backed startup.
