Mindori has shut down. We competed against the best in the world, made key customers happy but didn't have a path to winning the market. Sometimes you swing and miss, and sometimes you swing and you hit, and sometimes the market changes and you get a wicked curveball that’s not really hittable in time. Rather than bunting, we thought it better to find another game. We’d like to thank our backers (YC, Pear and Zhenfund) for their support and look forward to seeing everyone in the next round.

We've released an open-source keyword spotter and 700MB dataset from our 2016 NeurIPS workshop paper "An End-to-End Architecture for Keyword Spotting and Voice Activity Detection" (https://github.com/mindorii/kws) and hope the community can benefit from it.
