AI Video Production for Professionals
We are building an AI-native platform that integrates generative AI models into professional filmmaking workflows. Martini helps world-class creatives use AI as a legitimate tool in film production, enabling collaboration and speeding up processes that were previously manual and slow.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco is where the creative and tech communities intersect, which is critical for building a product tailored to professional filmmakers using AI. Being here gives us direct access to early adopters and the engineering talent we need.
