I'd be curious to learn why Secret Weapons (the makers of this tool) didn't raise $100M in venture funding two or three years ago, before the start of the AI video boom. They were first on the scene with EbSynth [1], which was the first widely used AI-powered video-to-video style transfer and keyframe interpolation system. EbSynth gave rise to comedians like Joel Haver [2] and lots of others like him. Several other companies [3] used EbSynth to base their technology on and wound up raising large seed rounds. Major musicians used EbSynth either directly or through these other companies to make music videos [4,5]. Secret Weapons was in a great position to conquer AI video and AI creative tools, but they seemingly slept on it.
