Lo que hace Storyboarder

Storyboarder is a tool and a platform for anyone to create, share, and sell webcomics. In East Asia, the webcomic (or digital manga) industry is an $12B market and rapidly growing to the rest of the world. Webtoon, the largest company in the space, generates $100M / month in revenue. However, their addressable market is limited by their content creators, who need know how to draw. Readers are desperate for a greater variety of stories in webcomics. Through years of working with filmmakers, we’ve built extremely easy to use storyboarding software that has 700K users. We’re democratizing visual storytelling to everyone. We’re working on the next generation that, through advances in video game interfaces, ubiquitous 3D compute, and AI, will allow anyone to easily create scenes, pose characters, to create webcomics. Storyboarder is backed by Y Combinator (W23), David Karp (Tumblr Founder), Andrew Kortina (Venmo Founder), and other product focused investors.

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

We've built an easy-to-use storyboarding tool with 700K users and are working on the next version that lets anyone create webcomics by posing characters and scenes with 3D and AI. It's for people who want to tell visual stories but can't draw well. It'll let them create, share, and sell their webcomics all in one place.

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

We live in New York, NY, USA, and the company will be based here with remote team members after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where we started working on Storyboarder and where we have our initial network. Remote work lets us access talent outside the city while keeping our core team local.
