Twelve Labs’ Founding Member joins us for Mediatech AI panel at Tech Week!
Meet Twelve Labs, a company that builds AI models that can understand and analyze videos and has raised $70M+ from New Enterprise Associates (NEA), NVIDIA, Index Ventures, Samsung Next, and Intel Capital.
Twelve Labs develops and delivers generative AI foundation models that allow users to “pinpoint and extract” exact moments in vast libraries of videos with natural language inputs.
Users can quickly locate scenes & footage that would otherwise have required hours to find.
Most relevant, Twelve Labs built its multimodal models specifically to understand video!
As we discuss the “Future of Generative Content,” I can’t think of a better company to join us for the Mediatech & AI panel on October 17th during LA Tech Week.
Anthony Giuliani is Global Head of Operations at Twelve Labs.
In 2021, Anthony became a founding advisor for Twelve Labs, helping with the company formation, fundraising, legal issues, and early business development. He now runs operations globally and has recently relocated to Los Angeles.
Before Twelve Labs, he was the General Counsel and VP of External Affairs at Cogni (fintech startup that raised $30M+).
Anthony brings extensive knowledge as a founder, lawyer, and international relations expert.
