AI App That Makes Hollywood-Quality Videos Raises $3M

A startup co-created by Israelis that uses artificial intelligence to enable everyone to produce Hollywood quality videos has raised $3 million in pre-seed funding from private investors. 

Voia has developed an app that helps creators improve the quality of the videos they shoot on their phone for social media platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. It uses advanced AI capabilities to create what the company says is “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 at Voia.

“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,” he said.

“We will continue to push the envelope of technologies that enable every creator to produce Hollywood quality.”

Avner Braverman, co-founder and CEO of Voia, said: “We founded Voia to bring Hollywood to every iPhone. We believe that when everyone can create such cinematic videos, we will see an explosion of creativity and engaging content in quantities and quality never before seen.”

Voia was established in 2022 by a group of Israelis and Americans and is based in California. The founders include Mitch Singer, who was formerly CTO at Sony Pictures.
