Papercup

Papercup is a machine learning start-up that aims to revolutionize the media industry by making video content watchable in any language. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, the company's mission is to address the challenge where 99.9% of video content is typically limited to a single language. Their innovative approach involves translating videos by generating voices that sound like the original speaker, preserving not only the characteristics of the voice but also the unique speaking style. The company recently secured a significant $20.00M Series A investment on 09 June 2022 from a diverse group of investors including Octopus Ventures, Bertelsmann Digital Media Investments, Entrepreneur First, Sands Capital Ventures, Mercuri, John Collison, Des Traynor, and LocalGlobe. With its focus on AI, Digital Media, Entertainment, Music, and Media industries, Papercup is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for multilingual video content. This recent investment is a testament to the company's potential and the confidence of prominent investors in its vision and technology.
