Voia, a startup developing AI based technology to enable everyone to produce Hollywood quality videos, has announced a $3 million pre-seed fundraise from private investors. The company was founded in 2022 and employs 14 people across the U.S.
Voia’s five founders bring together Hollywood and Silicon Valley. They include Avner Braverman, formerly co-founder and CEO of Reshuffle (acquired by Twitter); Mitch Singer, who served over two decades in leadership positions, including CTO, at Sony Pictures; Haim Helman, co-founder and CTO of Octarine (acquired by VMWare) and co-founder of XIV (acquired by IBM); Noam Malali, AI and computer vision expert; and Bryan Barber, formerly VP Digital Initiatives at Warner Bros.
Voia uses AI to enable creators to achieve the Hollywood look using only their iPhones, producing visual effects with Hollywood quality.
“We are at the forefront of AI. The challenges of achieving the Hollywood look using AI, require that we push the limits of our AI algorithms, and that we build a multidisciplinary product to enable creators to produce realistic visual effects,” said Noam Malali, co-founder and head of AI. “We need to produce cinematic videos at near real time speeds, so that users don’t have to wait hours to see their final videos. We will continue to push the envelope of technologies that enable every creator to produce Hollywood quality.”
