Engineering At Thuuz
January 25th, 2011Thuuz is revolutionizing sports entertainment by developing algorithms to quantify and predict sports excitement. We use these algorithms to help our customers find the most exciting sports video coverage. We just completed a financing round and are located blocks from University Ave in downtown Palo Alto.
