Dragoneye is a New York-based YC W24 computer-vision startup that lets developers create zero-shot image/video detection models from plain-English specs, then deploy them through a Playground, REST API, and Python/Node SDKs. Public funding sources are slightly inconsistent on the label for its $500k early raise, but they agree it was an early-stage 2024 round led by Y Combinator.
