Briefly

Jeffrey Katzenberg's investment firm WndrCo has co-led a $15.5 million funding round for Creatify, an AI video ad platform that generates high-performing ads with minimal traditional production. Founded by former engineers from Snap, Meta, and Airbnb, Creatify boasts $9 million in annual revenue in just 18 months.
