About Lily AI:
Lily AI is a female-founded retail AI company empowering retailers and brands by bridging the
gap between merchant-speak and customer-speak. Leveraging computer vision, natural
language processing, machine learning, and vertical-specific large language models (LLMs), the
Lily platform enhances customer shopping experiences by analyzing product catalogs and
automatically enriching the assortment with the natural language consumers actually use when
they search and shop. The platform then distributes the optimized data across a retailer’s entire
ecosystem from their website to Google Ads and beyond, ultimately delivering upwards of 9-
figure revenue lift through improved product attribution, enhanced discovery, increased traffic
and higher conversion.
The company is headquartered in Mountain View, CA but also spread throughout the United
States. We have a remote-friendly working culture that supports all employees’ work from home
needs. We are backed by Canaan Partners, Conductive Ventures, NEA, Fernbrook Management,
Unshackled Ventures among others. Our customers range from big box stores to specialty
brands, and full-line department stores to resale marketplaces.

But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
