Co-founded by Ofir & Nir Krakowski, Tel Aviv-based Deepdub aims to bridge the language barrier and cultural gap of entertainment through high-quality localization. Deepdub’s platform leverages cutting-edge AI technology with a human touch to allow content creators, owners, and distributors to extend their international reach and scale their offerings while maintaining the highest level of quality. For audiences, this means watching their favorite film and TV programs dubbed in native languages without losing any aspect of the original experience.

The current round of funding follows a year of explosive growth and momentum. Since their public launch Deepdub inked a multi-series partnership with Topic.com to bring their catalog of foreign TV shows into English and became the first-ever company to dub an entire feature-length film into Latin American Spanish utilizing AI voices. The company is already working with multiple Hollywood studios on various projects.
