SPATE is a data-driven company that leverages machine intelligence to identify emerging consumer trends in the beauty and food sectors. The platform provides actionable insights by sifting through over 20 billion consumer signals from major platforms like Google, TikTok, and Instagram, addressing key questions about trend ownership and strategic positioning.
Founded in 2018 by two ex-Googlers who were instrumental in the success of Google's Trendspotting division, SPATE has already pinpointed trends such as turmeric, cold brew, and face masks. This Y Combinator-backed startup is at the intersection of AI, analytics, fashion, food and beverage, wellness beauty, and machine learning.
Headquartered in the United States, SPATE received a $1.80M Seed Round investment on June 17, 2019, backed by notable investors like Kima Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, and Avrhm Capital. This positions SPATE as a promising player in trend prediction analytics.
