San francisco: Golpo, the AI-powered platform that transforms documents and prompts into interactive explainer videos, announced today it has raised $4.1 million in a heavily oversubscribed seed round. The funding round was led by BNVT Capital, a spin-out from the Gates Foundation and Hedosophia, with participation from Emergence Capital, Y Combinator, Afore Capital, and others. The raise attracted overwhelming investor demand, forcing the founders to turn away significant additional capital.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Golpo was founded by brothers Shraman Kar, 19, and Shreyas Kar, 20, who dropped out of their computer science degrees at Stanford. Their aim is to realize their vision of making AI video communication practical, scalable, and accessible to everyone.
