Building the next generation AI creative studio

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

We're building a creative studio powered by advanced video and image AI models. Our platform lets creators and studios build generative image and video experiences that didn't exist before. It's where AI-driven creative projects take shape.

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

We are distributed currently, with the founders in different locations. After YC, we plan to base the company where it makes sense for scaling the team and product, prioritizing flexibility.

Explain your decision regarding location.

The team is global and the product is digital-first. We want to stay flexible about location to access talent and be close to our users as we grow.
