Funding dollars to Internet of Things startups jumped 31% in the first quarter of this year, compared to Q4’15. That was the second-highest total yet in a quarter.

As industrial and business processes are more frequently mediated by the IoT, and IoT-driven analytics solidifies as a category, startups are leveraging machine learning and deep learning to provide predictive insights based on the data collected from wearables and sensors.

Just in the last quarter, companies like Tellmeplus, Neura, and Sentenai raised funds to integrate machine learning algorithms with different IoT functions, including data collection, sorting, analyzing, insights, and automation.

We used the CB Insights Mosaic algorithm, which tracks the health of private companies, to identify some early-stage startups in the seed/angel and Series A stage with traction (Mosaic has three components, which gauge a company’s health in terms of financing, industry category, and overall momentum). The list includes startups that have raised an equity funding round after January 2014, but have not yet raised a Series B.

The companies are working on applications ranging from remote patient monitoring to smart building solutions.

Majority of the companies on the list, 15 out of 17, have VC backing. While companies like Tachyus and Tellmeplus provide industrial IoT solutions, others like Building Robotics, and PointGrab focus on commercial spaces and smart buildings.

In the healthcare sector, Moov, a company manufacturing a motion-sensing wearable fitness device, announced last year that it will come with an AI coach that uses the data collected to provide personalized feedback.

Another digital health startup, Sentrian, monitors patients’ health remotely, collecting data from bio sensors.

The table below describes how each company is integrating deep learning and machine learning algorithms into their products.
