Translate and voice-over videos to any language

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Dubjoy to make it easy for anyone to translate and voice-over any video. Our product connects businesses that create or host large video catalogs with people who speak multiple languages and want to earn money by translating and recording voice-overs. It removes the technical and logistical barriers to localizing video content quickly and affordably.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live and work in San Francisco, CA. After YC, the company would remain based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the best place for us to access customers, partners, and early employees in the tech and media industry, as well as to tap into YC's community and network.
