Built AI-generated video ad creative for mobile game studios and won real customers — Supercell, King, Ubisoft, Playtika, Scopely — with 17 staff across Vietnam and the US. CEO Robert Huynh shut it down after three years because foundation models got good enough for studios to build the same tooling in-house: 'the gap we were selling into is closing.' Its biggest customers signed six-figure contracts; there were simply too few studios at that scale to sustain a company.
