Toronto-born Viggle AI, a startup innovating character animation through generative artificial intelligence, announced a Series A capital raise of US$19 million. The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz with participation from Two Small Fish and “will enable Viggle AI to continue to scale, accelerate product development, expand its team, and solidify its position as a leader in controllable video generation and AI animation.”
Viggle’s proprietary JST-1 technology is the first video-3D foundation model that’s built with a genuine understanding of physics, according to the company, enabling the creation of realistic character movements. The startup says it’s entering “a time of explosive growth.”
