Today, we’re excited to share that Darwin has raised pre-seed funding from a16z Speedrun to help us build the future of personalized, interactive media.
At Darwin, we believe media should reflect the person engaging with it — not just the person who created it. The internet made content abundant, but not personal. We’re changing that by building AI-native experiences that adapt to every viewer in real time.
Our flagship product, Wayve, is an AI video remixing platform where every viewer gets a version tailored just for them. It’s a new format of media — one that’s dynamic, editable, and uniquely yours. Wayve is launching soon, and it’s just the beginning.
We’re building this alongside a small, world-class team of ex-founders, ICML-published researchers, national math olympiad winners, founding engineers from unicorns, and former growth leads from the biggest UGC platforms of the last decade. Together, we’re creating tools that let anyone — not just professional creators — express themselves through media.
With the support of a16z Speedrun, we’re accelerating development of Wayve and laying the foundation for a new wave of AI-native formats across video, avatars, music, and more.
If you’re excited about shaping the future of media, we’d love to hear from you.
Every person is unique. Your media should be too.
Darwin lets you consume and create media that reflects who you are — personal, interactive, and shaped by your imagination
