I`m trying to determine the best way to pitch this kind of technology to entrepreneurs, potential clients and cofounders. Is the approach below correct ? Is there any critical info missing?

Thanks in advance and best regards !

I`ve been developing content-based image querying systems and databases for some time and am currently looking for ways to improve the adoption of such technology.

This sort of technology would basically allow users to sketch on an applet which image they want to find and have an image-related website reply to them the most similar images or just request for more similar photos at each image detail page.

I`m also looking for cofounders with interest on this type of technology.

More details are available at isk-daemon.

Best regards,
Ricardo Cabral.

As an artist, I find this an interesting concept. Maybe you should mock up an example of how it works in the form of a flash animation or something of the sort. For a visual service, I think you need a visual demo.

This sounds interesting. I would like to see a real demo, not just a Flash animation. It doesn`t have to be online. For example, have an application search in a local folder.

Take a look at http://fs.imgseek.net/ for a demo. This code has been opensourced.

There is absolutely an need for visual search like this. For example, if I am a graphic designer, I may want to find similar stock photos to make a pick (for example, a man in suit).

Unfortunately, the demo is not very mature. It just seems to have a lot of randomness intead of consistant result, at this moment.
