Unitlab

Unitlab provides a collaborative, AI-powered data annotation platform with on-premises solutions and integrated labeling services. The company was founded in 2022 by Shohrukh Bekmirzaev, who also serves as Lead Engineer. Based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, with a corporate office in New York, the company aims to streamline the data labeling process for machine learning and AI applications.

The core product, Unitlab Annotate, is engineered to enhance annotation workflows, manage quality, and lower operational costs. The platform features AI-assisted annotation tools like the Segment Anything Model (SAM) for pixel-level segmentation, which can accelerate annotation by up to 15 times. It supports a variety of tasks including object detection, keypoint detection, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for 123 languages. For clients with high data-security needs, Unitlab offers on-premises deployment. The platform is designed for real-time collaboration, allowing teams to manage projects, datasets, and members efficiently.

Unitlab operates on a subscription-based pricing model and also offers a free version with set limits. The company targets a wide range of industries, including fintech, healthcare, agriculture, e-commerce, and robotics. In March 2025, Unitlab secured $400,000 in a seed funding round from investors including IT Park Ventures and Aloqa Ventures to scale operations and sales. This adds to previous funding, including a $200,000 seed round in March 2025 and participation in accelerator programs in 2024.
