YOOM is a ground-breaking startup that has set out to revolutionize the gaming and VFX industry through its pioneering neural network-driven solutions. Established in 2016 and headquartered in Israel, YOOM's slogan "YOOM is the next leap in neural network tech for character creation and performance data for gaming and VFX industry" encapsulates its innovative approach.
The company's flagship technology specializes in next-generation character creation and mocap, enabling gameplay, cinematics, and trailers by seamlessly capturing body, finger, and facial movements without the need for markers, head cameras, or gloves. This not only elevates the quality of animation but also decreases overhead costs and accelerates character animation pipelines, thereby unlocking unprecedented potential for art directors, cinematic directors, and game developers.
With a commercial presence spanning the US, Europe, Middle East, and APAC regions, YOOM has made significant strides in expanding its reach. Its recent $15.00M Series A investment on 17 October 2022 underlines its appeal to investors, with notable names such as Insight Partners, Justin Lubliner, Finneas O’Connell, Maverick Carter, Paul Wachter, and Jimmy Iovine participating in this funding round.
YOOM's efforts are well-aligned with the ongoing digital media revolution, positioning it as a key player in reshaping the future of gaming and VFX through cutting-edge technology and strategic expansion initiatives.
