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 the world's first personalized entertainment 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.
