See the emotional impact of DeepNostalgia from D-ID and MyHeritage

Dear Josb,

D-ID created the technology behind DeepNostalgia, the viral video sensation of 2021 from genealogy service MyHeritage which allowed users to animate the faces of loved ones in more than 100 million still photos. Now MyHeritage and D-ID have released Live Story – which doesn't just bring the people in photos to life with movement, but actually has them speak.

OurCrowd is reinvesting in D-ID, a Y-Combinator graduate specializing in video reenactment technology using AI and deep learning.

Viral Product
Live Portrait, D-ID's still photo animation product, is the technology behind MyHeritage's Deep Nostalgia app. Jimmy Kimmel, Ian McKellan, and Jake Tapper were among the celebrities whose enthusiasm transformed Deep Nostalgia into a global viral sensation. The multimillion-dollar deal with MyHeritage is providing the company with invaluable publicity.

D-ID has two additional products available. Speaking Portrait – released by MyHeritage as Live Story – can automatically create talking-head videos from written text. Face Lit allows users to digitally change the emotional expressions of images.

The Company
The company is currently staffing a new Metaverse division to develop products for the emerging Metaverse that can include not only faces but full bodies capable of interacting with the digital environment.

Professor Lior Wolf of the School of Computer Science at Tel Aviv University recently joined the team. Prof. Wolf is the former lead research scientist at Facebook AI Research and a world-renowned expert in deep-learning full body reenactment.

The company has partnerships with AR/VR specialists The Glimpse Group and CGI experts The Artery.

Revenue Growth
D-ID projects a 590% increase in revenue this year to $9M, with $12.4M annual contract value, up from $1.3M in 2021. The company has already contracted $3M in Q1.

D-ID had 22 new deals and 7 upsells with existing customers in 2021, including Josh (India's TikTok) and Mondelēz. The Israel National Library joined the company's customers in 2022, while existing customer Warner Bros Pictures called on D-ID to animate images for Harry Potter The Exhibition.
