Florian Wenzel is Co-Founder & CTO of Mirelo AI, on a mission to give every video and game the sound it deserves. A lifelong musician and an AI scientist by training, he has spent a decade at the frontier of machine learning: PhD at Humboldt University of Berlin, researcher at Google Brain and AWS, working on generative models and robustness.

Backed by $44M from Andreessen Horowitz, Index Ventures, Atlantic and angels including Arthur Mensch (Mistral) and Thomas Wolf (Hugging Face), Mirelo builds AI models that generate film-grade, perfectly synchronised sound for any visual content in seconds — then let anyone refine it with expressive control.
