Controversial AI platform Twinnin, backed by Google and Nvidia, is set to raise at least $3M through its first seed funding round, aiming for a $25M post-money valuation. The company clones an actor's face, creating a likeness that can be sold on to studios or brands for use in shows, movies or ads. Actors can sign up for $14.99 per year to post their digital likeness on the app and receive callouts. The $3 million funding has been pledged as part of a seed fundinground that has interest from an unnamed "prospective lead investor" and "anonymous". Twinin anticipates a subsequent Series A funding round in 12-14 months if it hits revenue and KPI targets.
