Meet the Real Estate Tech Founder: Thomas Rebaud from Meero

In our latest real estate tech entrepreneur interview, we’re speaking with Thomas Rebaud from Meero.

Without further ado…

What do you do?

I am the CoFounder and CEO of Meero, an AI driven photography platform, the world leader in large-scale photography and video production. In 30 months, the team has managed to automate the editing of images, reducing the processing time of images to a few seconds when it takes several hours for a human to achieve an equivalent result!

What problem does your product/service solve?

Our service answers a major problem in the world of photography: image editing. Indeed, 60 minutes of actual shooting requires up to 4 hours of additional post production work. Result: long delivery times, unconsistent returns, often disparate prices.

Thanks to the combination of unique artificial intelligence technology, unprecedented work processes, and the development of a visual content management platform, we have been able to develop a world-leading offering of photo and video services at unbeatable prices, delivery times of less than 24 hours and consistent quality.

What are you most excited about right now?

Everyone in the office is extremely thrilled about our latest funding ! We’ve just raised $45M, a fortuity we have worked hard to achieve. We’ve now reached a height in our company that has allowed for a momentum within Meero that we would never have imagined 2 years ago.

I am so unbelievably proud to announce that the amount raised will allow us to set up the largest AI center dedicated to the development of machine learning and image processing in France. We are also overly excited with the upcoming expansion of our activities around the world.

What’s next for you?

We’re taking the big leap ! The next big step is the long awaited opening of the new offices in the United States, and Asia. In the last 6 months, we’ve gone from 75 employees to 180, and we plan to maintain this growth in order to create 300+ jobs in France and worldwide.

What’s a cause you’re passionate about and why?

I focus on the idea to make the Internet beautiful. I realized that we are all on Instagram and that photos are beautiful. But then, you go on a marketplace and photos aren’t great. That’s why we had the idea to make an offering that allows every professional to get beautiful and yet affordable photographs to help their business grow.

Also, as a company, we have grown wary on issues concerning our environment and the amount of consumption / waste we produce. Considering the size of our company, we have started within by eliminating the use of plastic. We make it a priority to recycle and we’ll implement various actions to reduce our carbon footprint.
