Seeking to globalize the world of content creation and entertainment, Deeptune co-founder Tim Lupo (2024 Forbes 30 Under 30 in Social Media) has a firm belief that “we’ll look back on entertainment today the way we look at entertainment in the 1920s.”

His company Deeptune is making striking progress to ensure this prediction becomes a reality. With $3.1 million in seed funding from investors including VaynerMedia CEO, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Reddit Co-Founder, Alexis Ohanian, Deeptune is set to revolutionize the content creation space with their AI-powered dubbing software.

In this episode, Tim started by telling us about how he and his co-founder first met as the first employees at Hebbia ($130M Series B led by a16z). He dove into the Deeptune origin story before discussing the massive impact his company is set to have on both individual content creators and large entertainment studios. Tim stated, “I think everyone in this industry knows that our vision of how this will work is how it will work in 5-10 years,” so listen now to hear this vision for yourself. https://deeptune.com/
