BROOKSTREET ANNOUNCES ITS INVESTMENT IN BEHAVIORAL SIGNALS (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE)

Brookstreet Equity Partners LLP (“Brookstreet”) announces its investment in Artificial intelligence (AI) suite for emotion recognition and “Behavioral Signal Technologies”, based out of Los Angeles, alongside US investors Kairos Ventures Rogue Venture Partners and a confidential strategic investor.

Behavioral Signal Technologies (BST) Inc. (“Behavioral Signals”) is driven by a passion to bring out ground-breaking patented speech-to-emotion and speech-to-behaviour’s technologies to market.  Professors and Scientists, Alex Potamianos (Greek Founder, Amazon Scholar, Harvard MSc/PhD, NTUA graduate) and Shri Narayanan (University of Southern California, Niki & C.L. Max Nikias Chair in Engineering, UCLA MSc/PhD) founded Behavioral Signals in 2016.

Rana Gujral (MIT MTPO), CEO of Behavioral Signals, stated:

“Our algorithms analyze human emotions and behaviours, transform data into usable information, which in turn leads to making better business decisions and increased profits.  Until now, human emotion has been considered impossible to quantify, and impossible to measure. With our patented ‘Tone of Voice’ AI engines, we use behavioral signal processing to go behind the spoken word in the human communication.  We welcome Brookstreet Equity to Behavioral Signals, as an investor with a commercial DNA and focus”.

Omiros D. Sarikas, Managing Partner (CEO) of Brookstreet, stated:

“We are excited to invest in the scale up of Behavioural Signals Technologies. At the crossroads of technology, innovation, and sustainability, AI has the ability to make a dramatic impact on ESG investing.  We collaborate with three investors with specific skillsets. Kairos, out of California, aims to nourish the world’s leading discoveries into viable businesses.  Tom Sperry of Rogue, out of the East Coast (and a close Partner of Brookstreet) is directing disruptive innovations into a clear path for rapid tech commercialisation.  Brookstreet is focusing on value realisation”.
