Founding Product Designer

• Video is the most compelling medium ever invented.
• But even a single minute of video can take hours to make and expertise across multiple tools.
• AI is changing this forever, and how we create and consume video will look completely different in 2 or 3 years time.
• We’re building a creative tool for content engineers (think Cursor) along with the agentic infrastructure to scale that content to infinity (think Devin).
• We’re a small experienced team based in Soho NYC.
• Our investors include YCombinator, General Catalyst, Leonis Capital, Race Capital, and angels from Pika Labs, Meta, Roblox, and Adobe.
• “Yarn has changed how we think about video. We’re now able to make high-retention content at scale – it feels like a secret weapon. I haven’t seen anyone else doing video like this with AI.” Varun Anand, Cofounder @ Clay
