Pre Seed · AI & Machine Learning · Prague, Czechia · 45–45 employees
ValkaAI is building real-time AI avatars and interactive video technology that transforms passive video content into dynamic experiences where digital characters respond instantly to user inputs. The Prague-based startup raised €12 million in Central Europe's largest pre-seed round led by Rockaway Ventures to develop AI commentators for sports and esports that react live to gameplay in multiple languages. The company employs 45 specialists including researchers from Meta and DeepMind, operating globally with teams across San Francisco, Prague, and Dubai. Their technology addresses the fundamental challenge of combining visual quality with real-time interactivity, enabling businesses to deploy controllable digital avatars at scale for entertainment and media applications.
