What Yarn does
Yarn uses AI to help founders, salespeople, and marketers make product and sales videos. Teams are using Yarn to make sales collateral, launch videos, use-case demos, training guides, and feature updates for Twitter and LinkedIn. No video experience needed and everything looks great out-of-the-box - think Notion, Linear, or Stripe-quality - but branded for your team. The magic really comes from AI (TTS, CV, LLMs) - so you can zip through 5x faster than a Loom.

Company
Yarn
Make sales and marketing videos with AI.
We built Yarn to help founders, salespeople, and marketers create product demos, sales collateral, launch videos, and training materials quickly. It uses AI for text-to-speech, computer vision, and large language models, so anyone can make polished branded videos in minutes without prior video experience. The goal is to speed up video creation by around 5x compared to tools like Loom.
We live in New York, NY, and the company will remain based there after YC.
We picked New York because that's where our team is, and it's a strong hub for startups and marketing talent. Staying local helps us iterate fast with real users around us.
