Meidy Fitranto and Faris Rahman were friends in junior high school. They reconnected at Institut Teknologi Bandung, where both studied industrial engineering.
They founded Nodeflux in 2016 as a big-data analytics company. In late 2016 they moved to vision AI, because demand for computer vision was high and almost no local company offered it.
In June 2017 Qlue, Adskom and Prasetia Dwidharma put in a seed round, and East Ventures invested in 2018. The platform, VisionAIre, was used at the 2018 Asian Games and the IMF-World Bank annual meeting.
Nodeflux became a partner in NVIDIA's Metropolis program and placed in the top 25 of the NIST face recognition test. Fitranto has been CEO since the start, with Rahman as CTO.
