Scopio is a premier platform that licenses trending images and videos on social media, curated specifically to suit clients needs.  It processes millions of  user generated content (UGC) contributed by users across multiple social media platforms, identifies the most appropriate content for a client, and procures the rights for that content to be legally used by the client.    It employs a set of complex algorithms to process the social media streams like Twitter and Instagram, to filter out unwanted content, then uses a mix of smart vision based categorization system as well as manual verification to make sure that the content is curated as per the client's needs.  It then provides a dashboard for customers to reach out to the content contributors, obtain the rights for that content, which then can be used legally for marketing purposes.  Scopio's dashboards and workflow supported by solid technology cuts down on the social media content curation and rights management process time by as much as 70%.    The system has been piloted with multiple brands as well as news/media organizations like Reuters.  Chris Wiggins, professor at CU and Chief Data Scientist at NY Times gave it the tagline "Getty Images in real time".
