About us

We’re a team of artists, engineers, and researchers building controllable AI video editing tools to unbound human creative potential. Our research team builds AI video models to understand and affect fine-grained, controllable edits on any human in any video. Our product team makes these models accessible to everyone from everyday people, professional editors and animators, developers, and businesses large or small to reach new audiences and tell outstanding stories. Our technology is used to automate lip-dubbing in localization processes in entertainment, create dynamic marketing campaigns personalized to individuals or communities, animate new characters to life in minutes instead of days, fix mistakes in post-production by making word-level edits to avoid rerecording entire scenes, and more – this is just the beginning. In the last 12 months we graduated at the top of our YC batch (W24), raised a $5.5M seed backed by GV, won the AI grant from Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, scaled to millions in revenue – and we're only just getting started.

Co-founder, CEO @ Sieve - Video AI for Developers
1w
We’re excited to announce our partnership with sync. to bring their newly released 1.9.0-beta model for zero-shot lipsync natively into the Sieve ecosystem. This model marks a step change in zero-shot realism and is now available as a backend option in Sieve’s lipsync and dubbing pipelines. This is the first of much more to come working with Prady Modukuru & team. We can’t wait to see how developers use this combination to build creative and social experiences that break down barriers in content creation and language. Read more about the partnership via the blog in comments.
we're excited to announce that lipsync 1.8.0 is now available on https://fal.ai/lipsync any live action, animated, or AI generated video through fal’s workflow engine — no prior training required available now ⚡️

crafting magic @ sync. • turning life's stories into movies

we have 24hrs in every day, but working at sync. I really wish I had 40 😂 we’re not about work-life balance — but it’s also not all just work we put 100% focus into exactly the one thing we’re doing rn shipping research OR celebrating a win, we’re all in all the time and that’s exactly what it takes to craft magic :)
We shipped our most capable video-to-video lipsyncing model yet Introducing lipsync-1.8.0 – edit what anyone says in any video, no training required. We benchmarked against the most popular OSS models, including our own (wav2lip) – we consistently outperform in visual quality, accuracy, and identity preservation, and expressive lipsync. Available now via API and our new v2 playground. Link in comments below.
the sync. team speaks 12 different languages – we're from all over the world. but for two weeks, we decided to change that. we flew to the french alps to ship, learn, and grow irl under one roof. this is our saga. full video → https://lnkd.in/g4r2WPuZ

COO & Co-Founder at MeetYourClass | Forbes 30u30 | Building Software for Higher Ed Enrollment Efforts
2mo Edited
MeetYourClass recently pitched on the My First Million podcast alongside Milieu, Tour, MetaFrazo, Brothers Nuts, and Pathlit. Click here to see the MeetYourClass pitch: https://lnkd.in/eDamMx8t. Everyone has to check out what these other start-ups from the University of Michigan and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are building. Here is a high-level overview about why each excites me so much: The organizers: Bobby Housel, Tommy Potter, Barry Sabin, and Austin Kennedy have changed the way entrepreneurs meet at UMich and UIUC. At UMich, they host bi-weekly meet-ups that anyone can attend without an application, dues, or required meetings. After Blake Mischley and I attended each of these meet-ups during our freshman year, we were inspired and knew what it would take to stop talking about launching MeetYourClass and finally make it happen.Milieu, Inc.: Nathan Shatz and Ronil Chaudhary are going to revolutionize skincare by customizing our cosmetic products and habits to each person's unique microbiome. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/etZqAgmF.Tour & Tour.video (YC S21): Amulya Parmar and Kishan Sripada (my good friend from high school!) are making apartment tours virtual and interactive. I used their product when shopping for an apartment in Chicago this past summer. I cannot imagine having made such a significant financial and lifestyle decision without Tour.MetaFrazo: Shrikar Lekkala is helping content creators such as universities "dub" their online content into 60+ languages. Being so close to universities grappling with the impending domestic, demographic cliff, I am confident that MetaFrazo will empower universities to bring their educational services to a much larger population. I am so excited to see how companies like MetaFrazo help to educate the world. Shameless plug, but another impressive dubbing start-up is sync. (YC W24) – where my cousin, Noah Milberger, serves as the founding engineer.Brothers Nuts: Austin Majors and Caleb Majors have such an inspiring story, and their sprouted nut products are making for healthier, more sustainable snacking habits. I am already craving the Crackled Cheezy Almonds that are on the way.Pathlit: Advay Gupta is making reading and responding to emails substantially easier. Their response generator and inbox categorization system is positioned to drastically decrease the 13 hours per day the average worker spends on emails. I cannot begin to imagine the increased productivity and job satisfaction this will bring. Regarding MeetYourClass, we shared how our platform supports students in their transition from high school to college while helping universities enhance enrollment efforts. Specifically, we discussed how universities can tackle rising "Summer Melt" rates, which is the initial point of enrollment leakage and student support that MeetYourClass aims to address. Thank you Sam Parr, Shaan Puri, and the rest of the My First Million team for having us!

we spent the past few months as a team in sf working towards one goal: making the best lip-syncing tool in the world many sleepless nights, meetings in the war room, and hundreds of mocks later, we were blessed to get into batch 4 of AI Grantwe celebrated one more small step in a big journey with an awesome bonfire 🎉
this weekend we get to learn from some of the best AI investors and founders in SF a year ago we were a team of 4 friends w/ a simple goal : to train a new class of AI lipsync models since then we graduated at the top of our class in YC, raised our seed w/ GV as a lead, and got into the prestigious AI Grant led by the incredible Nat + Dan this is the story how we got in, and how we celebrated w/ our team 😇 full video in comments 👇
