Voia, a startup founded in 2022, has secured a $3 million pre-seed fundraise from private investors. The company aims to utilize AI-based technology to empower users to create high-quality videos similar to those seen in Hollywood productions. With a team of 14 employees based in the United States, Voia brings together individuals with backgrounds in both Hollywood and Silicon Valley.
The five founders of Voia have a wealth of experience in the industry. Avner Braverman, former co-founder and CEO of Reshuffle (acquired by Twitter), joins them, along with Mitch Singer, who held various leadership positions, including CTO, at Sony Pictures for over two decades. Haim Helman, co-founder and CTO of Octarine (acquired by VMWare) and co-founder of XIV (acquired by IBM), also contributes to the team. Additionally, Noam Malali, an expert in AI and computer vision, and Bryan Barber, previously the VP of Digital Initiatives at Warner Bros, are part of the talented group.
Voia’s primary objective is to enable creators to achieve the Hollywood aesthetic using just their iPhones by leveraging the power of AI. The company’s innovative technology allows users to produce stunning visual effects comparable to those found in the film industry. One of Voia’s main challenges is to develop AI algorithms that can deliver these effects in near real-time, eliminating the need for users to wait hours for their final videos.
By continuously pushing the boundaries of technology, Voia aims to democratize the production of high-quality videos and make them accessible to every creator. Their vision revolves around providing users with the tools necessary to produce cinematic videos that rival those seen in Hollywood. With the recent fundraising success, Voia is well-positioned to bring their AI-based Hollywood-quality video technology to a wider audience.
