Summary
Toronto- and New York-based Mecka AI has acquired Ottawa social app Thirdspace in a cash-and-stock deal whose price was not disclosed. Thirdspace co-founders Cedric Osagie and Eshan Betrabet have joined Mecka to lead mobile work, while the app will continue operating. Mecka says their experience growing the app could help it attract people to collect first-person video for robot training; the company is aiming for 100 million hours of footage by the end of 2027.
