## About

Founded in 2017 and based in California, US, DNABLOCK operates as a 3D animation platform for virtual avatars. The company was co-founded by CEO Anthony Kelani and CTO Luc Schurgers. In September 2021, DNABLOCK raised USD 1.2 million in Seed funding from SoftBank and other investors.

The company's main creation tool enables people to design photorealistic 3D avatars that they can control in a virtual environment. DNABlock’s tech is virtual production software called Replikant, which uses a photo-to-avatar AI pipeline to allow creators to upload a selfie and generate a fully-rigged, customizable avatar. The platform also lets creators generate additional cinematic content, including virtual worlds or even short films.
