Verdict
Keyframe Labs has two genuinely strong technical founders with combined experience building exactly this product at Ericsson, AT&T Labs, and Zipline — this isn't a team that wandered into video AI, they've been building it for a decade. The per-minute pricing model is clean and maps directly to enterprise usage patterns. The core risk is that this is a technically hard race against well-funded competitors (HeyGen, Tavus, Azure) and requires both model quality and infrastructure scale to win. No press or named customers is a gap — at YC application time they should have at least beta deployments to point to. If the photorealism and latency claims hold up in production, this is a strong A with S potential; if model quality lags competitors, the price point alone won't carry them.
Active Founders
Kaahan is co-founder and CTO of Keyframe Labs, building the world's first photoreal, emotionally expressive AI humans for real-time video agents. Previously, he spent five years at Zipline as a Perception Engineer, building their camera-based detect-and-avoid system for autonomous drone operations. His work spans computer vision and applied ML, with research at CVPR and JAMA. B.A. CS, UC Berkeley.
Parth is co-founder & CEO of Keyframe Labs. Before Keyframe, he spent 5 years at Ericsson on frontier AI, founding and leading a team of 30 building foundation models for voice & video synthesis on one of the world's first petascale human datasets, shipping Ericsson's first generative AI products. Before that, as a research scientist at AT&T Labs he developed novel neural architectures for photorealistic 3D telepresence, enabling the world's first 3D call over production networks. B.S. CS UCLA.
