Founder of Svid AI - Video Intelligence

About

Founder of Svid AI. I've rebuilt this product from scratch twice: once because the economics of processing video didn't work, and again once I understood exactly why. I'd rather fix the hard problem than walk away from it. I've been chasing the idea of searchable video since long before it was a company, and I default to building over selling, which is why my cofounder runs outreach while I stay heads-down on the product. Always glad to talk to other founders who've had to rebuild something before it finally worked.
