Venture Capital News: Syntellia Raises Capital

2012-11-09
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Militello Capital announce it made a venture capital investment in Syntellia, Inc.
Piedmont RIA through its affiliate Militello Capital, is pleased to announce it made a venture capital investment in Syntellia, Inc.

Syntellia was founded by Kostas Eleftheriou and Ioannis Verdelis. Their plan is to develop software solutions to real world problems based on the principle of Synthetic Intelligence - the application of human intelligence principles to the solution of computer problems.

The company's first product in the market is Fleksy™, a virtual keyboard solution which outperforms all current market offerings both in terms of input speed and accuracy. Currently developed, patented, and ready to be integrated, Fleksy™ has superior auto-correct features that dramatically improve typing on touch sensitive devices - even when typing blind. The imaginative auto-correct functionality enables a number of user interface innovations which have not been possible to date. Though the solution can be applied to a familiar interface, they have already developed a completely re-designed user interface specifically for blind people which will for the first time make it possible for the visually impaired to use a keyless interface efficiently.

"Typing on smart phones has just made an evolutionary leap forward with Fleksy" remarks Bill Militello, Founder of Piedmont Investment Advisors. He continues, "Fleksy is an app that everyone and I mean everyone will use."

"We are excited to have attracted such a diverse and strong panel of investors to Syntellia" says Ioannis Verdelis, Founder and COO of Syntellia. Fleksy is set to revolutionize the way people use mobile computing devices, and we are now accelerating the introduction of the technology to millions of users"

Using cutting edge pattern matching algorithms, Fleksy™ is far faster and easier to use, and more efficient than currently available virtual keyboard solutions, including those available on popular smartphone and tablet computer devices.
