Leadership Comments

"For 30 years, the way we use computers has barely changed — we type, we tap, we scroll," said Sasha Ivanov, Co-Founder and CEO of Liquid Interactive. "Liquid Photos offers the first glimpse of something different, where you reach into a photo and move through it. Today, that makes your camera roll feel alive. In the future, it means anyone can build a rich, interactive experience without writing a line of code."

“The companies that matter from here won’t be the ones with the biggest model. They’ll be the ones that invent new ways for people to interact with it,” said Daniel Wigdor, Co-Founder and CEO of AXL. “That's the applied layer, and it's about to produce the most important companies of this generation. We've watched Sasha and Ben build a category-defining app with Maple Scan before, and we’re confident that they can do it again, this time at a scale that could define how everyone creates content with AI.”
