About Deepdub

Deepdub is a Tel Aviv-based company founded in 2019 by brothers Ofir and Nir Krakowski, with Oz Krakowski later joining as Chief Revenue Officer. The company leverages artificial intelligence to provide high-quality, scalable localization and dubbing services for the entertainment industry, including film, TV, advertising, gaming, and e-learning. Deepdub's mission is to bridge language and cultural barriers in content for international audiences.

The founders' backgrounds are rooted in technology and machine learning. CEO Ofir Krakowski previously founded and led the Israeli Air Force's machine learning and innovation department for a decade and holds multiple degrees from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. CTO Nir Krakowski has over 25 years of R&D experience, including co-founding the Shin Bet's cyber unit. Their combined expertise led to the creation of an AI-driven platform designed to make the traditionally costly and slow dubbing process more efficient.

Deepdub's business model centers on its advanced AI platform, which offers a hybrid approach combining deep learning technology with human expertise to ensure emotional authenticity and quality. The company offers several solutions, including fully managed services where an in-house team handles the entire dubbing process, and a self-service virtual studio called Deepdub GO, which gives post-production teams full control. Additionally, Deepdub provides an AI Audio API for seamless integration into customer applications. The technology can replicate actors' voices, control for accents, and supports over 130 languages and dialects. This approach aims to reduce turnaround times and costs for content creators, enabling them to monetize their content in new global markets.

The company serves content creators, owners, and distributors, including Hollywood studios and major streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Key partnerships have been established with companies like Verbit, OOONA, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to expand its reach and integrate its solutions into existing media workflows. In February 2022, Deepdub announced a $20 million Series A funding round led by Insight Partners, bringing its total funding to $26 million. The company has also gained recognition for being the first AI dubbing solution to receive content security accreditation from the Motion Picture Association's (MPA) Trusted Partner Network (TPN). In a move to support creative professionals, Deepdub launched a royalty program to compensate voice actors for the use of their voices in AI-generated projects.
